Witch Rant

See that lone figure that sings
Amidst paint-lettered winds?
She's, in fact, a cataclysmic Witch.

Yes, yes, the one with sea-waves
For hair; the one who dreams and raves
Of strangish things.

Like hickeys from a forbidden fling
The moles against her warm, pale skin
Brim with secrets deliciously grim.

She moves about with dark finesse
Through her personal army of lazaruses–
Creating her own catafalques and coffins.

Yes yes, the one with sea waves
For hair; the one who dreams and raves
Of strangish things....
