the Queen of Night.
the Walking Wonder.
Quirky Delight.
a Living Thunder.

barking at Dogs.
necklace with Bloodstones.
saving small Frogs.
from traffic war Zones.

inciting Fights.
among the fence Poles.
dancing through Lights.
steps shared by lost Souls.

avoiding Cracks.
inside of Walkway.
fixing Syntax.
of ash in Ashtray.

gives pristine Jewels -
royal gift to Ants.
two sugar Cubes,
for loyal Servants.

another Bar.
moon isn't down Yet.
does not live Far
and longs to Forget.

purse full of Change.
deformed by train Wheels.
orders in French.
with cute smile that Heals.

sparks in her Eyes
reveal her Passion:
flirting with Guys -
out of Compassion.

avoiding Salt,
and telling Secrets.
touching Basalt,
with increased Frequence.

mourning for Wine -
four empty Glasses.
makes stars Align -
while playing with Matches.

walks out the Door.
with grace of stray Cat.
to a near Store.
just to get yelled At.

drowsy sun Yawns.
or so birds Whisper.
running though Lawns.
now streets will miss Her.

like drunken Bee.
and full of Chuckles.
finally Free.
yet always in Shackles.
Spoilers: (I usually don't bother listing these, but I mean - I might as well.)
1) The ants are a reference to the game "Katherine" where they are said to be "Messengers of witches", I did try to look whether it was actually part of any folklore btw, but found nothing. If you know more, I'm more than interested.
2) In Japanese culture, salt is considered sacred and is used to ward off evil spirits.
3) Basalt is formed by rapid cooling of lava exposed on surface - this is what the dark visible parts of the moon are made of.
4) Bloodstone is supposed to be a stone preserving health and youth and have an ability to call rain or to cause a solar eclipse - I don't have it from a reliable source though. (it's like 3th paragraph on Wiki)
5) the poem has 13 paragraphs (13 being an unlucky number in western cultures) and every odd line has 4 syllables (4 being unlucky number in eastern cultures)
