Brother voodoo.

Take me from the dust of memory,
Where disturbed, dank earth ripples,
Give me form, when cool marble slumbers,
Through mossed splinters of shattered oak,
Call me back,
Draw me to you, with root and talisman,
Make me whole with your desire,
Enslave me with your art,
Fill my veins with purpose,
Or let me sleep,


In listless limbo you task me,
You ask me, you demand,
Sinews contract and bones crack,
At your whim
I toil unrelented,
Your whisper is my world
And mojo my tormentor,
But I toil on unrelented,

Oh let me sleep
In caskets cataleptic cocoon,
No rending of mildew silk
Nor cuticle blackened resurrection,
Mandrake cannot hold me,
No needle pierce my soul,
Serpent and cockerel boil not my blood,
For my work is done,
Oh give me sleep, eternal.

Olias.
