She haunts the state born on Halloween-
Homemade syringe in her velvet sling.
Hard eyes glimmering an emerald green,
As the wounded become her playthings.

Please, pay heed to the whispered warnings,
Lest you be snared on a hook

They say you can refuse his offer.
This is true.
He will simply wait
until you need it.
Luna drowned in sorrow
Then in blood
Then in horror
Then in darkness
The, worst of all, hope
See how her journey ends.

It used to be made from lard or suet.
Ravels, well, his Grease Paint comes from something else entirely.

Birthed on a gun deck as cannons sang,
Swaddled in a powder sack.
Inside the ironclad, his wails rang,
Graced with the name Lazy Jack.
