Where Secret Risers Meet

Where secret risers meet,
I've heard the lurid tales,
Upon sick gray waters,
dizzy be the mornings,
Clogged with the sound 
Of coughing babies and laughing witches.
There! Against the rotten orange sky
Lies the remains of all you ever loved.
Hallowed be thine night!

Thanks so much!!! Read my new one I just wrote 10min ago, named "Sparky." It's a little more happy.
