witches
Gemini in seasonable  evening, serenely swirling in Septemberous ferris wheels reeling in the vast domain of lonesome leviathans and witch-fires; nowhere bound in the boundless fecundity [ the feral joys of creation... ] twins meander in gravity's well of souls, swollen with unknowns and proteins; golden rods in pointless foam brewing the elixir vitae in the Dippers cup. the Milky Way, a wayward gush from an ancient Mother Goddess, plump and shameless, pumping teats to nurse worlds infused with divine rays of gamma and x... why set dark apart from firmament burning spheres? dragons must clutch eggs in the void as much as fork tongue white dwarfs. of course, the Source unfolds as  Love does. it's purpose, in thrall of fearless veracity, spinning yarns for glad garments to clothe the naked dread of such fearful symmetries as roam the wild delights of the infinite meringue. the Pi on the window sill, tempting the circular frame of reference to square with the sublime Will. another Fibonacci in your bedpost, to better hobnob with broomsticks. everything annihilates hatred. from within, we sojourn to sovereign super-continents of opulent peace. profound realities surge serpentine with Meaning. we are outdone on the inside by small minds and farcical hearts. so at night look up. Love's Tongue Is Love's Word.

Love's Tongue Is Love's Word
Night witches own the dark, as they sweep the skies on their knotted broomsticks. They take to flight, in pairs, under waxing or new moons, when the sky is darkest, the stars at their dimmest and gloom the deepest. They steal souls, drink warm blood, gather teeth and fresh, human meat. They drift, smoke-like, with noir-intent, chewing their charcoal treats in that imperfect silence that prickles with all the sounds of the earth: growing plants, creeping insects, rustling leaves, and shivering birds. Although their stygian laughter is frequently mistaken for cat fighting, they are soundless, becoming the shadows that disturb, that draw startled glances from the periphery of vision. In their dark-passing, a mother will check her sleeping children one more time - dogs will whimper and fathers, the hair on their neck standing, will check already-locked windows. Are you meandering out this night - to walk the dog or check the mail? If so, look to the sky. A little decision can be the worst mistake of your life.

Penelope Cruz On The Idiosyncratic Use Of Broomsticks
a high school football game. the field is ablaze with juicy roses and doves. the athletes suddenly drop thier pencils, their coughing hands made of melting wax. all the trombones are falling apart, and the flute players are losing their ******* under the bleachers, throwing away secrets. heartbeats cracking broomsticks, the nuns were always hitchhikers with resounding gag reflexes. i sail forward, snatching the time bomb from the quarterback, snuffing out a pall mall on his right eyelid. the dead angel is summoned to slay the horrible hippopotamus. she is ancient. she has a mouth full of cavities and peace in her veins. the truth is a piercing thing, whose bitter tongue will decay me.

scene on a floating barge
Nudge a numb cockroach and he'll love you for life just ***** little lemonheads can't actually survive a nuclear explosion but can cause catastrophic evolutionary queries like "Why do the good die young?" Can you believe that long ago only the bad died elderly and were witches with elixirs potions and spells to make God blush and his **** turn to mush so powerful they made people go crazy with judgement and micromanaging but I'm the real witch right-o I ride broomsticks and eat toads for snacks my back is a lump of coal from the Devil's morning hookah smoke billows from my ears cockroaches my best friends we cut off our heads and run into fridges my pelvis is frigid except for those **** roaches.

We proposed for Witches Abroad on Broadway, a costume. As a lure to students, orange and black candy. Dancing at the prom, cell phones caught the ghouls. This stretch of road was full of cool cats. Unlucky ones were left on the side as skeletons. We swept them clear with our broomsticks. Our guns were not as brutal as broomsticks. Bristles hid the ******* end, as if in costume, No flesh, just skeleton. Like bags of orange and black candy, They were left, full of calico cat. Our familiars, our friends, dinner for a ghoul. They pulled at the ghoul, In the hands of a witch, danger came by broomstick, When ghouls snacked on cat, In their orange and black fur costume, Tasting sweet, like candy. They beat them up and down, but they find another skeleton. Them ghouls come faster, giving birth to others, another skeleton. Vocalizing desire for black and white, red and yellow make orange, a ghoul, Howls for student flavored candy. A witch lays out one, then another with her broomstick, Removing the face mask and costume. Them that can, holler their outrage in cat. Your *** was revealed in orange and black on a calico cat. Females cooled themselves of *** unwilling mates to a skeleton. Once alive, copulating loudly, now in a death costume. Walking upright, a neighborhood was destroyed by a ghoul. Neighbors watched, a witch patrolled on a broomstick. Your students were seen as human candy. One wife beater had a juicy rind, sweet and soured candy. At the dance, hors d’oeuvres were made of cat. Shot forward, it can create a hole, can a broomstick. Where stomachs used to be, a skeleton, Death conquers all, no more ghoul. One, now many properly attired for the Danse Macabre in costume. I found an orange, as broomsticks cleaned Broadway of cat candy. In my student costume and human face mask, my path is crossed by a cat. It disappeared as if it never was, visible only to Death, a skeleton made by ghoul.

Sages and broomsticks   motherless pearls Witches that threaten   fatherless girls Curse of the ages old grudges remain A coven of stages   to hide from the rain The markings of Satan   the touch of the Lord A death plated sunset   and winner forlorn The trap now a quandary   and you must break free As with all soiled laundry   to burn once deceived The truth is not distant   first word never feigned The peace that you’re seeking   inside you unclaimed So let go of the dogma   the medals will melt New songs of arrival   you’ll write most heartfelt But the moment is now   and the moment is clear Once the moment is christened   new joy spins from fear To those who still threaten   with eternity ****** Say:         “Away with your blasphemy,           stop where you stand         These wings have reopened           my eyes looking in         New life has been gifted           —I’m blessed to begin” (Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)

Blessed To Begin
A brook runs through my Grandmas farm, That used to carry gold. My Grandpa -Benjamin- Did not yield the land, To the British, who wanted it dammed. In 1968, they took him in, To have his appendix removed, And Grandma never remarried. My Aunt Alice, Was a witch. She flew in on broomsticks We never saw, But heard in the barn, Where she parked. She brought foreign sweets that didn’t Crack our lips, And told us naughty jokes. -Oh Pope the ******* Please pass the Custard!- We’d squeal and never tell, And feel all grown up and, Conspiratorial. Grandma says she died running with The wrong pack, That she was knocked from the sky, By a cross. Later we learned, It was a broken heart that did it, that Grandma wouldn’t accept a, Jewish man in the house, So she killed herself. Mary was dead when we got here, Her tree is the prettiest. It’s a large yellow poplar that Trembles in the slightest breeze. She was a violinist, A frail, little thing, who Is fading away in family photographs. Irridescent sparrows trill, Beautiful harmonies, From skinny branches, Shielded by the most delicate, Drooping fronds. You see, my Grandmother has three beautiful trees, Growing in her garden, One for Benjamin, one for Alice, one for Mary. My grandmother used to sit under these trees. They’re feeding off the bones she says.

My vessels My veins My vessels My fiend My pen I never strayed My lungs I do disdained My legs not rightly placed My hands, beyond tangled This is just some words about The ethereal wandering spine: Made of hard candled wood To be laid cold on the lane The ghost of it, I dare say, wandered around Spoken of shame and of the nomads And in silence, it sew the raging sea Into yarns of distraught constellation All in this ill world, not above The spine was of rage and of distress Wished forever to stop standing still And forever more, laid to rest As broken bones, as thousand glasses To be unnoticed and blend as well Fifteen years of shame Haven’t eaten Fifteen years of shame Haven’t beaten But bathe in dirt To blend means to fade away And to fade means to accept Annihilation and memories that may Dangle from the tip of your bones Why would you Or the spine Take it for granted, wish it to be true? Truth be told; a spine helps you to stand still Aside from your legs and your partial heart Imagine; if it wander aimlessly Where would you belong, and where would you stand? But still the spine wanders around To reign upright on its own Then decorate beauty of its own Oh, and perhaps, again Blend in as well as to fade away Away Away Away From you From: Fifteen years of shame Haven’t eaten Fifteen years of shame Haven’t beaten But bathe in dirt— And could not stay Look at your spine Which you can’t see, why are you so sure That it is there? Look at the spines On your surrounding: Lampposts Broomsticks Electric poles Candles Pillars Look at the spines That stand on their own Just a single stick And nothing more. Believed to be incapable Wished to be broken shards Ended up standing still For eternity, for darkness beyond And what are you Without them? Just a lump of flesh A fabricated skin An empty will And nothing more Living in Fifteen years of shame Haven’t eaten, haven’t beaten But bathe in dirt. And what are we, without them? Just dark vessels And distraught veins. My vessels My veins My vessels My fiend.

I fell in love with a superstition. She kept crystals at her bedside to ward off wraiths and bailiffs, selling friendship bracelets to strangers on the internet whilst keeping family in her prayers. She would wander the fields of **** and sunflower seeds, howling at the moon without another soul to converse with; obsessive-compulsive murmurs of a Hail Mary and incantations. Potions of ayahuasca and sugar brewed on the hob in the kitchen, fridge magnets full of idioms and passages from the Book of Psalms. By the fire sat a pristine tin cauldron with the price-tag still left on it. Broomsticks were mounted on the wall like lazy guitars or executed deer. No photographs, only proud trinkets and yoga mats; a crucifix hung over every doorway, whilst she had learned to cross her legs from all men and pain. She laid me down on the bed with a hungry sleight of hand to show me her favourite trick; I saw the marks on her arms before she came alive in the dark, and by the daylight - she had gone.

In Love With The Witch
He was sent to Aldershot for training He would learn how to **** or be killed The training was all done with broomsticks When he thought back it made his blood chill. His unit was sent down to Portsmouth To board a ship and go over there It was packed to the gunwales with weapons And the rations left no room to spare. He practiced with his rifle on the journey Like others who’d not held one before He’d no sense of the horror he’d be facing Nor the violence he’d always abhorred. It was such a small piece of shrapnel Caught both eyes as a shell case shattered He never saw his two boys as they grew into men Missing out on so much that had mattered. His wife who he loved always helped him And a life with new interests grew He learnt how to read the braille papers It pleased him he’d still know the news. But the trauma from the experience scarred him And ire with politics grew by the day So he took to his new odd braille keyboard And wrote articles and letters to complain. He could sense the new way that the wind blew In the corridors of power in the House There was money to be made in new weapons And politicians ignore those who grouse. Then again two decades later it started Another war that would mean more dead men The obscenity rose like a bile in his throat So once again he took to his ‘pen’. ©JRW2014

1914 - From Aldershot to Braille
Legs astretched like venomous broomsticks Fangs drooped lazily like a calm nosferatu, Those eyes gold as sun on styx, treasures   that spun flame between his every blink-- Sandpaper tongue dragged over black hair Nibbling his own wrist momentarily, then Locking sleepy eyes on you, ascending fleece-- Retractable moonbeams flex teasing attack    then kneads, falling like a lullaby back into        uncapturable dreams; purring in the spirit of poe.

Foolish men. You trust all that is around you, you rely on the deceit, the deception, like it is worth dying for. You foolish men. You’ve gotten so good at lying that you can’t even tell the difference, between your truths, from your hollow lies. I once believed that I can live happily ever after, just as I’d watched in the movies. I thought that I can have powers, cast spells, and travel to a time before my own existence. I once believed that, I can fly on broomsticks, that I can make objects move with my mind. I believed that I should just leave my cares behind, that I should run away, instead of facing the problems of life. That even if words would afflict me, or if the world persecutes me, I should do nothing. But we shouldn’t believe everything that passes through our ears, for we invest too much in these. We should remember, that we pour over worlds that have been imagined, and that we watch scenes that look all too good to be true. Do not let these falsehoods keep you restrained. But instead, let them make you better. Let them make you bolder, fiercer, and let them make you achieve. Achieve in what was thought to be impossible, what was thought to be unobtainable, what was thought to be unachievable. Don't let these lies keep you down, because it is "I once believed" for a reason. And that reason is, that you didn't let the lies succeed.

I Once Believed
They guard our gates. We are ruled by mechanised gods. We are not free. We are not real. We are not awake. Our mornings wake up to dew and smoke. We wake up and pick up our broomsticks and sweep. You and I are made to sweep. And it is through these sweeps we dance our fated dances. Dance to wake the castles, and water the gardens, and venerate Emperors long dead and gone. “This,” we say, “is our duty.” “To belong.” “To bow together.” “To hope as one.” We, all key cogs in the machinery. Everyone has a broom and dustpan. Everyone is made to sweep. "Is this the land," we ask, "that we sang for and dreamt our feverish cartoon dreams for?" Perhaps not. Our stories exist only in a land beyond time. We’ve been there. It is a mechanism for the gods. They too hold brooms. They too sleep in shrines of stone. They too live in temples of steel. The gold ones have long ago burned.

There are castles, high and grand. There are towers,, which stand on clouds, Fog and air, cold and wet, sweet breeze, sour rays. The hearths of knights and maidens fair. They bring the stars down on earth; They strum the night with voices high; They fill the skies with uttered hope. But in the hills, there breathe the witches. On some days, old. On some days, young. They hoot like owls and ride their sticks, Like dappled rainbows, pass the moon. While maidens sing, the witches snort. While knights hunt, the witches slay. They live on fear and not on glee. They bathe on tears and feed on gloom. Vile, they say, vile and banished. But forgotten, I always bawl. One fainted night, while red flames flare, Not failing the heavens like swirling bones, While roaches march on grey, tan dirt, The witches dance, their broomsticks tap. In one crooked wood, there sat one witch, Pale and brittle, her eyes are black, her lips so red. She freed one sigh and looked beyond. Down! Away! Where the princess chant. Oh, how she wanted to flee from dark! Oh, how she wished to see moist grass! This witch was called the bleak, weak witch. She wishes on stars and drinks not mire. Her black eyes wish to see blue skies, No more grey, she always says. The witch’s name, they didn’t know, they dare not ask, For those black eyes rein the grass, The swamps, the ants and the blue, white fire. She was a princess, herself, she was. She ruled the hills and the under lives. Yet they did not know, She need not rule, She need not want to fly and slay.

Through misty alleys and darkened streets Romp ghouls and goblins, looking for treats In every town and every village Children come to plunder and pillage Knocking on doors, oh what a sight Out in the streets on Halloween night Riding on broomsticks, howling at the moon The ghouls and ghosts sing their eerie tune Raising eyebrows as they pass Each one more frightening than the last All begging for candy, they do roam Till their bags are full, and it's time to go home

TRICK OR TREAT
The moon was lost behind a cloud When something weird went by I tried to see what it was But it flew so fast and high. I don'tbelieve in witches But that is what I saw Sailing high in the sky On broomsticks made of straw. The stars were gone the night was dark When something else took place I couldn't quite believe it There was a gruesome face. A skeleton with corpse like face I viewed it in awe I don't believe in zombies But that is what I saw. The howls and cries Under the moons eerie light A master of changing shape With one infectious bite. I don't believe in werewolves But that is what I saw Walking down the street With blood stained jaw. Another creature of the night With fangs dripping red A piercing bite upon your neck Then you are bled. I don't believe in vampires But that is what I saw Lurking near the graveyard When the moon was low. All too soon the mellow moon Lights an empty late night street Children dreaming, planning, scheming For next years trick or treat.. © Hazel

HALLOWEEN EVENING
A little girl and her father broke into my house Their aim was to steal my daddy’s records Later they said it was to open a bar There were way more records there than I remembered Crates and boxes stacked on top of each other They let me keep some of the Doors’ records I don’t know how they knew I liked that band I panicked, knowing how long my dad had kept and preserved his collection My sister showed up somewhere, somehow I asked her to call the police, but she refused and refused I was bewildered I finally got a phone, but it didn’t work. I found a gun But it was a water gun It shot out pink goo at the offenders Finally I flashed to the scene of a hollowed out lake We must have looked like witches and wizards Flying on our homemade broomsticks Soaring just below the clouds Swan-diving into pillows of treetops The feeling was indescribable- Being in control Until a sister sold me down the river Placed you on sale to the highest bidder Words were exchanged My heart took flight and was broken God and the devil were in cahoots that night.

It is time to change the way things are, scratch that smell from our noses, like **** in a bottle chucked out the window while going 90, The free fall fogs up the glasses on a blushed face, 40oz till we down the sound of crying, Lie across the ocean Lie across the land Send truth over and watch it slip through the cracks, Breached news of frustration calls "Canada is coming, what the **** is America doing," We do our best to travel against all odds, piloting a spoon made of silver into a greedy pocket originally meant to feed those eating mud pie, baking in an ever dying sun as fish float up to the surface, Choking down the salt water to avoid drill, give them a gun instead, it will protect our false memories and concocted purpose, This was paid for by ink soaked bones working in minimum oxygen to the brain, featured on rolls of film stripping off clothes covered in lust, Taking hold of a crowd with merely this voice, conducting an audience with bed knobs and broomsticks, rhythmically grinding the **** awry, taste this sun from the lips of a fairy, mystical or not we were there to receive, Open our hearts via chaos trained messages, massaging back pains to the point of tears, electromagnetism therapy causing the lights around the dance floor to flicker, moving at incomprehensible speeds relating colors between points B to Z, On numbered grids the scale is curved to fit the description of another one biting the dust, And as we finally rest on cold stones the Panic sets in.

Magic,spells, Witches and wizards, Broomsticks and moon beam, Near the moon, above lake, I know a land in which, Is found all of this, Not my imagination, Some say idiocracy, some call me stupid, Some say am abnormal, But I call it natural, for me is what my eyes see, And it is all the sight you see, i believe in a different world, I live in a different world, Don't think I'm different, I'm just one of you, Its just that I've seen enough, Which the world had for me to see, So I wonder about that crazy place, Just 'cause they accept me the way I am, I was, I am and I'll always be this way, A movey little shadow, Which ought to be seen....

My private username  is in the Public Domain I guess I'm too headstrong for all the bubble bursters Placate my phosphorous soul I'm sorry for my outburst I'm an oddball Inconceivable What am I to do with these overdone and overdue Blockbuster tapes I have just finished over viewing? I contrive white elephants for all those who tip the scales Whose guesses are as good as mine as to how some make time to fold a thousand origami cranes I've been beaten with broomsticks and Plexiglas riot shields Because I was looking for the middle way between indulgence and denial But rest assured, the glum lobbyist is going to counter balance the dumbwaiter As the elevator operator takes the escalator because he's all about time management When I was young I could see people's guardian angels and auras But now the angels are gone and only the auras remain "I hate my life and all the choices I'v mad that have brought me here"
