Incantation 1

Ian Zulick

Tulip red her
Fire hair
Blazing like
A summer mare

Skin of Bronze
Forged and formed
Obsidian nails
And a voice of horns

Indigo lips
With howling eyes
Her sorceress way
A translucent disguise

Her sculpted neck
Behind her the wood
In this wilting forest
Her words are good

She peers and bites
Breaking the ice
That binds my desire
The chill in all nights

No longer bound
By solitude cold
My walls as broken
As my sorrow is old
