∴ jumbo fingers flash—
demons fumble-flee its flare
bongos pulse the still ∴

∴ mosquito—
shadowed zither pierce the night
blood. moon. sacrifice ∴

∴ nightfall tea—
steeping dark musings—
wisdom from cats ∴

∴ tsundoku rooting—
tangled ivy threads through shelves
words sprout from the floor ∴

∴ second moon ripens—
melon light spills on dense fur
thirsty jaw take shape ∴¹

∴ amorous embers
trace upon the witch’s lips
a spell’s kiss fuels wild ∴

sonorous gifts left behind
milk, honey, and need ∴
