Black

Black the raven’s wing appears
Poised for somber flight,
Black the craven soul who hears
Demons in the night.

Black the rose a witch has kissed,
Black its withered frame,
Yet the man-made devil-mist
Puts the rose to shame.

Be the magic what it will
Black as chimney stack
None so black but blacker still:
Armaggedon-black.
