Jackie's Book of Shadows (CH12)
Chapter 12
I
Pointing to different parts
of the tree lined parameter,
an assortment of creatures
begins to emerge.
Chucky…
The Leprechaun…
Batman…
The gremlins…
Each stepping forth, and upon
closer look have implements
for killing.
“I also brought these guys.”
A gang of Cipheric magicians,
emerging from the trees,
begins walking across the field.
The sight opens up a second
stream of urine, down Jumper’s
leg.

Masquerade Ball at Mardi Gras
Masquerade Ball at Mardi Gras
Mr. Baumgartner was an older man with a receding hairline, light complexion, and a thin black mustache like Hitler’s. He was a predator with pale blue eagle eyes. Mr. Baumgartner said, half-jokingly, that if he hadn’t been a writer he would have been president or a messiah.
Mr. Baumgartner stood in the large room that took up the whole side of the house facing the street. He looked at the print of the Mona Lisa, Da Vinci’s perfect woman. Then he looked at his wife and sighed.
His wife had grey hair, wore glasses with coke bottle...

Chapter 10
I
The tinted Sprinter window rolls
down. Vulcan turns to the guard
in the guard tower, who has a
similar appearance, nodding in
recognition, the electric gate…
Rising.
“Well, here we are ladies.”
Jackie says.
She looks deep into the eyes
of a bound and gagged Jumper,
index finger to thumb, opening
his eyes with a magical gesture.
Jumper makes a muffled attempt
at protest.
“Here we are Jumper. Why don’t
you enjoy the scenery. It’s breath ...

Chapter 9
I
3 am. Empty streets, steam rises
from open manhole as a
figure walks down a brick road,
stepping upon sidewalk, a
look of disgust at passed out
homeless person.
Jumper walking home from the bar.
A black cat ventures into the
shadows of the night.
A crow, perched upon a streetlight,
caws, drawing Jumper’s attention,
rapidly turning around.
Out of the corner of his eye, he
thinks he sees something moving
even more rapidly, something
shadowy. ...

Vulcan, the chauffeur, masked

Chapter 7
I
An eerie, iridescent light irradiates
the waters of The Healing Pool,
bubbling to the surface like the beaker
of a mad scientist, having achieved
event horizon on an experiment,
Broomie’s sisters and allies holding
hands, eyes closed, in states of
deep meditation.
A group vision takes hold.
II
Fast moving clouds, at inception.
Palms touching, pulsating.
They see a golden fetus, turning
slowly…
And a baby Broomie…
And Broomie as a wee...

The Sunset
It was the beginning of dawn.
And the sun,moon was coming upside down.
The colors danced in the sky.
And birds began to fly.
We watched the sunset appear and burn down.
It looked stunning.
Like it was wearing a colorful gown.
It slowly began to rise and show in the sky.
As birds sing and leaves fly.
It began with red,like red roses immortal.
And went into orange,like orange juice.
It transitioned into yellow,like sunshine.
And had really pretty hues.
When it started coming back down, it started becoming...
And the sun,moon was coming upside down.
The colors danced in the sky.
And birds began to fly.
We watched the sunset appear and burn down.
It looked stunning.
Like it was wearing a colorful gown.
It slowly began to rise and show in the sky.
As birds sing and leaves fly.
It began with red,like red roses immortal.
And went into orange,like orange juice.
It transitioned into yellow,like sunshine.
And had really pretty hues.
When it started coming back down, it started becoming...

I
Like a spiral frequency, circling
the pole, clad in garters and
dominatrix regalia, a sensuality
playfully caressing the edges
of the supernatural, classical piano
notes falling like drops of rain,
Honoria moves with a savage grace.
“Damn girl. You got the moves
like Jagger.” Blue says, brilliant
sapphire amulet shimmering upon
her plunging, ample bosom, one
leg crossed over the other, clad
in leather stiletto heel boots.

Chapter 5
I
A regal glide, Blu passes
through the art deco hallway,
dotted with art pieces on
both the floor and the walls,
luxuriant silk neglige gripping
her curves, draped to the floor,
emanating inner power.
Making a hand motion, the
black door swings open.
Her ritual room.
With another wave of hand
the room bursts into candlelight.
In the center of the room is
a pillar with crystal ball on capital.
In response to her presence, the
orb fills with clouds...

Alienated!
I was abducted by aliens last night!!!!
They told me
They had come
To suck out my brains!
After much jabbering
Amongst themselves
And a few,
Seemingly harmless experiments
Where i presume
They were testing my brain output etc
They suddenly returned to Earth
Let me leave their spaceship aka ufo
Without saying a word?
So i asked
"I thought you were going to suck out my brains!"
"Yes earthling, we were
But decided on this occasion
It wasn't worth it.........
