Migratory Valentine

If you find a murderer
In your family tree or a slaveholder
Or even vaguely some royalty
Or stop to visit an ancient grandmother
A witch of Endor and her brilliant
Daughter Sophie still surviving
In their cottage in the woods
And manage to penetrate their fairytales
Do you finally get to that mountain
Grove of reckoning where your
First family gathered
For their next migration
Hoping you would save them
Climbing on your shoulders
