Hecate
Sleep eternally
To break the spell of memory
This work of art that I am locked inside
The papers burnt in a furnace’s fire
No one will see the misery of my mind
The world escapes subjugation to my brilliance
You shall never know what you have missed
And I shall never be missed
The glory of this coat I wear
Absent of the recognition I deserve
Accolades
Acolytes
Disciples
Deception
The liar and her burning tongue
Which only speaks the truth
Build in me
The power to defy you
Build in me
The will to use it
Give me the power to destroy
The cities you have built
The towers to your infamy
The vanity of vanity
I am the Goddess of the Night
If I were a goddess
If I were the night
I cultivate the greenery around me and twist it black in the pot
I look out through the sides of my eyes
Cleopatra make-up to make me sinister
To reflect what I am
The Witch of the Grey
In tall twisted towers that watch the world with silent eyes of cold and heavy rock
I wait as the world builds on me and snap only when I’ve born that last straw
The world turns to wheat
Golden fields that rip outward from my suburban fortress
My dead city built on Indian bones
I thrust my arm
I flick my wrist
I cast my spell
And tear it down the middle
I split the seam and watch as the world falls in
A puzzle pushed over the edge of my table
If it cannot be what I want
Then I don’t want it
Tear it down and start again
Not the Goddess
Not the Witch
But all there is
Content with the world in my head
Never bothering to create another
Mortars grind
Calcinatory burns
Alembic boils in the creation of toxic gas
I will bomb the survivors if they will not submit, for this world is mine
I do not want to share
I am the super villain of myth divine
All I see is mine
To break the spell of memory
This work of art that I am locked inside
The papers burnt in a furnace’s fire
No one will see the misery of my mind
The world escapes subjugation to my brilliance
You shall never know what you have missed
And I shall never be missed
The glory of this coat I wear
Absent of the recognition I deserve
