The apothecary's nightmare
When sadnesses besiege me,
At the dying of the light,
Starlight illuminates
The ending of the day.
And star-crossed lovers
Quietly drift away.
........
I sigh silently, out of sight
Of mirrors, water, eyes,
Humankind loses its disguise.
We spin and whirl and follow,
like hemlock in the hay,
Witch-wicca-wizard
Sway beneath the moon,
All night, all day,
We dream our dreams away.
........
For all that was lost
Is summoned,
Pentacles aflame tonight,
Pray to the sky, the earth, the light.
........
Time and tide and starshine
Warp-weft-weave a liminal sky,
Move towards the dying of the light.
The goddess of the moon's deceiving,
This evening, as her light bends and curves,
The chemical nightmare occurs.
