Carved

Etching in moonlight
Dancing around the totem
Ghost drums

Marks in the stone
Tongues long forgotten
Night hums

Blood on the roots
Spilled in the pattern
Flesh numb

Smoke forms a sign
Black stars are watching
Oath sung

Limbs twist in prayer
Eyes turned to nothing
Veil strung

Shadows take shape
The hunger awakens
Doomed drums
