Hymn to Witches
Who did Margaret Read see
in her last throes of agony
what must it have been like
to suffer the flames of this world
to fear the fires of the next
the anguish of it,
the terror of such.
As women, it can often feel
as if our choices lie between
shitty and shittier
as if that intuition burning
our hearts and our guts and our blood
is the very thing turning our skin
to ash.
Some nights, my mind finds them
charred in a market square
consumed by ignorant fires
my bones are...
in her last throes of agony
what must it have been like

is the very thing turning our skin

charred in a market square
consumed by ignorant fires
my bones are...

Wild wicked witch
I’m a wild wicked witch
That’s right, you heard me bitch
You can poke at me with your sticks
But I’ll never miss a trick
Let me cast a spell
Ensnare you in my hell
You can fight, you can yell
But the magic will always tell
Tell me where you’re hiding
Where you’ve ran, which wall you’re climbing
It’s all just a case of timing
I’m forever learning, forever finding
Finding things I’d left behind
Finding things I’d hidden
Finding things I’d cast aside
To things I’d said good riddance
...

Lady Dark~Series
my darkness escaped me and assaulted my soul
weeping in the atmosphere
shrinking in the noise
Lady Dark got to me
leaving me chained in the verses, she explained herself
with a vicious jealousy over me
sanctified night I still shiver
retelling the chaos in the light
telling my Father what his Goddess Madness had done
she was allowed out of her confines to visit me
speaking despicable things
sparking a fire under the man I love
engaging him directly
in an unseemly fashion
I cringe hearing her,...

father gand
as troll spindles take flight
vandals slander soul sought ways
some say it is a devils work
we burned these matches well
from spittle
vile vine
was born this myth
called modern man
show me now
through a cyclops eye
heath

cairn
speaketh
he was there
she was there
you were there
wooing
woe

the Indian elephant
The Indian elephant
I knew of an Indian elephant who worked at a circus
on an act where unhappy animals sit up and beg
and sad clowns who know they are pathetic dance
one day, the elephant stopped the act, addressed
the public
why is it that the rich pay no tax but have a choice
of food to eat and do not help the poor
out of poverty
I, he said, pointing at himself, get paid green bananas
and stale bread. not good for my digestion
I blame the capitalist system,
When the authorities heard of this, they asked if

Odessa
Odessa 1955
On the Black Sea, the boy dressed for galley heat
stood on deck, wanted to see the ice flow
he was poverty- thin and too young for the sea
So much ice to see watched too long
got a nasty cold and became ill with a high fever
in Odessa, they sent him to a hospital
What he remembers is doctors in tall white hats
and rotund nurses who fed him dark beer and plenty of sweets
When feeling better, he walked into the hall
was offered Russian cigarettes by
other patients, large filters but not much tobacco
He was getting...

Cocooned In Silk
One wild and wintry winter
He ventured to the wood
Guided only by the eerie moonlight
As he reached the spot,where a monster once stood
He called out "Oh monster!"
"Come to me forthwith"
"I wish to make a deal with you"
"That one day you may'st forgive"
He waited upon a mossy bank
Surrounded by frozen leaves
And within a moment of minutes
A loud crunching could be perceived
As he beckoned it even closer
He began to perceive its size
As wide as a felled oak tree ...

The Silly Prince
The curious case of the farting witches
Who could only cast a spell
When they cast a smell
They cast horrible smells
On everyone they meet
Including
The king, queen, and their beautiful daughter
Who although the princess was very beautiful indeed
But because of the smell spell
No handsome prince
Would marry her
One prince did try
He even designed a special gas mask
Unfortunately
He kept fainting
As he'd forgotten
To put some way of breathing on his design
Silly prince.......

the darkening mind
the darkening mind
When the sun had done its duty and the day cooled
it was time to go to the shops for food and a few
bottles of beer: this afternoon, I decided to walk
along the gulch, a scar in the landscape that led
to the road and saved about ten minutes of walking
time down at the bottom hot and in an unpleasant way
and held no promise of a cooling breeze
the ground was littered with dry twigs that crackled
like someone was walking on them
No birds were flying around, nor any insects
the gulch a scar of dead tissues where...

Hektate
Hektate Goddess over magic hear my plea
something is bothering me
I spell on the winds and spin
weaving my words as I go
to catch a spider
venomous little creature
symbolic with an hourglass shape
behold for all women's sake
a metaphor for time
treachery among my own kind
thievery of the soul to snare a man
wickedly she goes
evil manipulations fall from the tongue
pitting one against the other
widow, crone imaginations of taking the throne
delusions of grandeur
sinister telling lets me know ...

The Art Of Burning
a solitary figure stands lost in thought
shadows cross my path and I usher them on their way
they are part of the scene
talking to my Father I take note of his mastery
I ask what is wrong with me.
we seem flawed or at least I do
nature merrily goes down her path with fangs bared and venom spewing
I follow after the witches before me
knowing I burned for it in days past
you stir inside me
with the need to touch the dark
and I wonder dare I?
you even encourage me to master my skills
I...
