I believe I was a ginger headed poet in a past life,

who wrote love through magik spells—

burning candle wax, whispering incantations

under a full moon and painting pale,

naked flesh with dirt and ash.

Dancing with ghostly ravens through flames,

to the thumpthumpthump of my storm heart,

as it became one with the earth.

I roared my passions and my glory

to the heavens above, laughing

like a crazy eyed crone for the sake

of those who feared me.

My witches tongue, hissing, 'Come hither!'

as heat licked my shoulders like an old lover,

come home.
