Poem Title:
Poem
Black – darkness pitches, naked witches, almond moon of hallowed season crossing stitches, dogs and bitches dance entranced for wicked reason powdered sulphur matting hair, licking dirt and twitching praises sanctify the night in pain, evil stirs and sickness raises magic black and legion spawned, circling stars of salt and mud cries that die against the night, sacrifice of blade and blood candles cursed to stain the light, pluck the feathers from a dove base desires of craven need, souls forsaking all above black, malignant eyes intent, leaking malice, wearing skin wearing bags of festered hate, fevered hags with open sin coming, clacking fingernails, children bent in pleading prayer nightmares twisting locks of hair, children cornered by the air White – nurtured itches, silver witches, Mother Moon who guides the season mending stitches, bringing riches, singing rites, enlightened reason tiger eye and poppy seed, woodland altars flush with praises dancing airy flights of joy, tendered smoke of incense raises magic white and ancient born gently stirs in mystic mud giving gifts from life within, finger pricked and drop of blood earth and wind and three by three, witches cooing to the dove secrets cast and never told waken to Her will above witches’ oil to scent the air, purifying nature's skin breezes drawing circled puffs, papers burn to counter sin lilac, sage and sandalwood honor Mother Moon in prayer holding fast as children dream sylvan scents on glamoured air
