Mesha
07:26
|
|

Bathed in the glow of the light of a hundred flickering lanterns
Gazing upon the shadows cast by a flowing sea of strangers
Wandering
Beckoning
The streets are littered with discarded bones, scraps of food with lifeless eyes
A feast to calm the clowder’s hungry cries
Joining the unanimous prayerful chants with discordant melodies
The voices join and echo through moonlit alleys in feral harmony
Conjuring
Worshiping
A fallen fortune teller’s card seeks divination amongst the wind
As the snake charmer’s flute signals the rising sun
Peeking out through iron spirals
Silently watching the dawn come undone
Graveyard dust and decaying rose petals
Make for a soft place to lay and rest
Dancing upon the mosaic tiles of an ancient prince’s tomb
Unaware of the skeleton smile which gazes up from its eternal womb
Guardian
Of the innocent ones
Totem spirit of the land
Inspiring evocations
Framed by crumbling palace walls
Ornate dilapidation

Witch Haus

A Violet flower plays with the moon
In the garden where wild roses grow
A spider hangs from a witch’s broom
Watching potions get poured in the kitchen below
If you fancy to visit the upper lair
Touch heads with the guardian to pay the toll
Watch out for the witch with the room full of mirrors
Her mischievous familiar will steal your sole*
Receive divination from a fox
A crow kindles flames to attract a blue moth
Oh, watch the feathers fall
Pull up on the lever to lift the trapdoor
If you fancy to visit the under lair
Turn your lantern up bright and be given a tour
By the ghosts and opossums who’ve made their home there
Receive divination from a fox
A crow kindles flames to attract a blue moth
Oh, watch the feathers fall

Wolf Bones
08:33
|
|

The memory of a howl of a wolf echoes
Through the cavity of a skull half concealed in the moss
Summoned by the ghost this cry invokes
A figure, hunched and wandering, reclaims spirits lost
A cottage filled with ivory piles
Collections of remnants of lives long replaced
This newest addition the final piece
She begins to articulate a lupine beast
Sing to the bones
(Canta a los huesos)
Sing to the bones
The bones begin to stir
Tracing a sigil in fireplace ashes
With gnarled fingertips
A spell on her lips
The bones begin to stir
Sing to the bones
(Canta a los huesos)
Sing to the bones
The bones begin to stir
Ensorcelled by her spirit
Enfleshed by her song
La Loba transmogrifies

Slither
09:59

Coal-stained eyes
Smeared black lips open wide
Amulet swinging like a pendulum chain
Stir up my cauldron, I’ll conquer your blade
I’ll be your lucid dream
Show me your alchemy
Ritualize
Cast your breath into mine
Sage smoke hanging in ethereal haze
Worship my altar, I’ll conquer your blade
I’ll be your lucid dream
Show me your alchemy
The shadows swell as the candle flames flicker
My spine’s like a snake as I sit and I slither
Hot blood running through druzy veins
Drink from my chalice, I’ll conquer your blade
I’ll be your lucid dream
Show me your alchemy

Femme Feral
06:48
|
|
||
A halo of moths casts a circle above her tangled tresses
Embraced and seduced by the swirling wind
which captures and carries the scent of her essence
Petrichor breath sighs through beetle wing teeth
As vetivert tears fall on outstretched hands
Consumed by secrets told through jellyfish whispers
That only the feral ones understand
Mandrake screams reverberate through
Wormwood dreams of midnight blue
Garnets catch between her toes
as she wades through rivers and her heartbeat slows
to the pulse of the waning moon
Lost in pareidolia
The cracks in a stone become petroglyph tales
Soft mullein kisses graze her velvet underbelly
Touches translucent through silkworm spun veils
Mandrake screams reverberate through
Wormwood dreams of midnight blue
Firelight flashes in her eyes
As she summons the spirits and dances in time
With the pulse of the waning moon
