Cypress trees like evergreen steeples
rise above rows of gravestone woes,
their shadows lie side by side like railroad ties
across writhing paths banded like snakes;
gravel birth cords sinuous
sensing the ground seeking the sun

Asked the witch,
In a nasal tone!
Are you yourself not made of magic?
I looked at her in silence,
Wondering if she could feel the pain
Dancing all over me
Running through my bloodstream
Pulsating...

the gossip waiting within
Inside, the shop smells...

Letter To Death
Pray, what is your purpose, Death?
Carrying souls to their fated dues,
Via your messengers, beings so vile and so ugly
