Incantation #8

November 08, 2016 by Patti King

Not another step.

Stop holding the misaligned
heavens in place.

Never make me read your name,
Never let me see your face. 

Manipulation, professional grade,
cease and desist.

Writhing braided bindings freeze and
shatter with the words that twist. 

A slightly choppy lagoon breaks your
waves and stills your storm.  


This ship is not for you.

Not.
Another. 
Step.
