Voodoo.



sucked in
from the outSIDE
plastered upon a crystal ball
that has no meaning
and barely glitters as it is
black magic, ha!
that deck of cards
is miniscule
in comparison
to my voodoo lovechants
and needles, stabbing at my enemies
the repetitive hammering
wicked evil tempting sewing machine
i am;
cursed with curses
straight from bethlehem
i'm pulling nails from my palms
and tossing them in the trash
setting it ablaze, and watch it fall to ash
youcan'tgetridofmethateasily!
you can't speak to me so
casually.
as if you know me, really
because chicanery awaits
sends lightening bolts straight
to the pearly gates--
and i sit atop my flying carpet
ready to fall staunch
to whatever lies lurking for me
be it pits of hell, or silver bells
magic wands, cockleshells
insipid madness slipped into my
drink--
ez pills to make me think--
or was it to stop what thoughts
are already poisoning me?
i've lost my mind again;
dunno, dunno
let me check my pockets.
