Calling my Priestess
On the bleakest of nights
Pull off white feathers
From your beaded headdress
Dip it into rosemary water
Anoint my flesh
Smear a calming prayer
Across my chest
Pull out my evils
Place them somewhere else
Drag them to hell
Place on the devil’s top shelf
Calling my Priestess
On the bleakest of nights
Grab your mortal and pestle
Mix tree sap with flower petals
Invigorate my soul
Grace my tongue
Let me taste prayers
Exhaled from your lungs
You are radiant lightning
Sanctified art
Shock strength into
My ambivalent heart
Calling my Priestess
On the bleakest of nights
Lift my dark clouds
Bless me with light
