The moon dreams at night
If it had only been...
Sailing over the witch's house
Dissolves the sky
Sleeping in the shadows
Of a guardian angel
The woman's pillow
Gathers shapes of a wingless bird
Whose weary skeleton sings a song
Proving fatal
Darkness through which we fall
Moonlight and daylight
Recalls no face
Taking you unprepared
As a nail driven
Into the center of the world
The lunar orb draws pentagrams
Resting in its obsidian vault
Making up new imaginings
Beneath your eyes
