Domain of the White Witch Moth

cherry vine
stenciled heavy
with color

henna tattooes
pick your orchard paste
drink your paramour's wine

open your
pores hold
your hennaed skin
over my brazier of
smoldering cloves

apply camel urine
to darken your stains
I hump over absorb the
indigo rains coming to
the song of solomon
camphire

making your paste
more stringy strained
liquid from simmering okra

I want you
darker where
poetry reads goth

put the baby bats to sleep
henna walnut powder your pudenda
is rubbing off on me domain of the
white witch moth
