Night Echoes
moonlight —
nothing to choose between
water and blood
in mirror pieces
her kajal-lined eyes
wide open
blue
clouding over
pulling out
one more needle
from the voodoo doll
an empty chair
begins to rock
dead of night
on the doorway
webbed footprints

Blood Sacrifice
graveside manner
the shadow sorts body parts
for its creation
bones clicking
whispers of ghouls
a hiss of gas
twisting out
of the incision
chipped gravestone
the fork tongue licks
ancient words
sacred blade symbol
the sickle moon scar
eclipsed eyes
screen through ashes
the dead heart
