Preparation

potion poured on fire,

fan the flame,

prep for incantation,

chant one name

---

boughs asigh, acquiver

body blows,

 breaking bones deliver

sensual throes

---

advance

recoil,

repeat

neck veined to skies

wild

abandoned

throated

frenzied cries

---

naked

to white moon

crimson

nailed

sacrificial

bounty

burnt

impaled

---

glancing glint,

suffusion, razor’d gore.

tomorrow’s spell

bespoken, more in store
