I was quite open to summoning
your deceased cat
even to calling in the Dead Files
to seek the secrets harbored by our house
I didn’t object to the
large sage plant
fumigating every room
seeping into silent shadows
herbal delight
spirit fright!
And wasn’t it I
the fearless, fanatic
searching out the perfect shaman
rustling through Reiki Masters
like they really did have a charm?
And all that salt
that cousin Hilda left us
salt streaming through the windows
I run with it flying through my fingers
like tiny grains of truth
Then Abracadabra!
There’s me in my orange-laced voodoo dress
And we are back at it
the business of our mortal disgrace
leaving the dead
treading through to the living
picking fights in flesh and blood
learning to seal and bind
the stupor of mortality

Thank you!
What a fun poem, Lana! I could smell the white sage, envision you in your orange-laced voodoo dress, running, with salt flying through your fingers like tiny grains of truth. I retired my voodoo dress a few years ago but still use sage and salt for various mystical endeavors. Good to see you here, it’s been a while. 🙂
Thank you so much, Joan. Good to see you here also! I’m trying to get my blog going again, it really inspires me to write. Plus I love the company of my writing friends ❤
Hi Lana. I lovedddddd this! There was so much to interpret in this beautifully woven story. I loved the switch back to the voodoo dress and plot twist. And the photo is gorgeous! Is it yours? I didn’t know you had hidden talents, witchy woman! Good to see you back in blogland <3
Thanks so much, Debby! There are definitely a few things going on in it for sure. The photo is from Pixabay, I always have good luck searching their site. I’m happy to be back trying to blog and write regularly again 🙂
