The one to fill
Little glass bottle, what to fill you with?
Honey for sweetness and paper with a wish;
Water left to bathe in the light of the harvest moon;
Fingernails clipped in the dead of the afternoon;
Three fine cat hairs, black and long;
A minister’s spittle from evensong;
Dandelion blown from the ancient wood;
Whatever charm chosen be firm and good.
For those who have the spell, but need a vessel.
