Picture the coven gone to bathe in moonlight
lost on a path through the woods
where jimsonweed leads the wayward by the hand
The dead hang higher here
eyes to the west and the setting sun
watching eternity pass by, ageless
washed in the waters of unholy fountains
in preparation for communion with the crawling shadow
chained here and waiting for release

I know it’s been a long time since I made a post on the blog. I’ve been putting everything I’ve got into the book I’m writing. A few days ago I passed the 100,000 word mark, which makes this far and away the longest thing I’ve ever written. This poem is, in a way, a part of the story. Got to keep chipping away at it.

Oh yes: 100 K. That’s worth stepping aside for.
