Pitch-Black

by Gary West


Wicked old women strip bare
beneath new moon blackened
skies chanting ancient hymns
phlegm-gurgled invocations
to conjure dark malevolent
spirits from bile-rusted
cauldrons bubbling vile
mossy ooze, spewing
unimagined nightmares high
into nocturnal dreamers’
vast receptive minds.
