Her smoky laughter faded to a moan. An owl cried out, sharp and sudden in the night, freezing her breath. For a moment, we were poised, alert to the danger of the unexpected sound. But the only real danger was being consumed by the sheer heat of our desire.

Laying smashed upon the ground
pieces and bits scattered out
wept the weary woman
whose wholeness
equally fractured
consumed in darkness
of that which was once stolen

We wait. We wait as the sunlight slowly dips beneath the horizon, waiting for the festivities to begin. Call it Samhain or #Halloween, this mystical night holds reflection, promise, candy, movies, and for a lucky few, the long road to immortality.

"We've been walking for an hour," he said, "even if we find an 'owl of hoot', what would we put it in?" She assured him that the forest was a fine place to spend as many hours as possible, "we shall put it in The Mystical Box, of course," she replied, "but it must be fresh."

In Eldoria, Elara received
a #mystical charm from the
venerable Enchanter Elyssia.
Clad in her cloak,
a brave wanderer,
she sought her vanished father,
guided by the #talisman
warding her against
hunger and thirst.
Through the Mystic Wood
her heart blazed with resolve.

An owl is a quiet philosopher,
weighing the ethics of moonlight
on every branch it perches,
tracing shadows like fragile questions,
measuring silence with careful talons,
listening for darkness to reveal its truth,
holding the night between thought and wing.

fine-point mystified her.

Current mood apologies.

Mystical is a beautiful game
you kneel before your own reflection,
the candle’s breath flickers like belief.

from the house
came
#mystical #music
enticing you
to #simply
come closer-
as you draw
near
it becomes quite
clear
something is amiss
you hear a discernible
hiss-
as the night wears
on the music will capture
some passersby,
enough to make
multiple meat pies

This mystical night—
Doorways to the dead opened,
Listen for the creaks.

We lay in the field, as the plague doctor danced around us, flashing his crow-skull talisman. His followers chanted in one voice, "noooosssferatu...NoooosFeratu...NOOOSFERATU!"

The moon hid behind the clouds. Our hands clasped together, as the doctor cackled.

Then came the thirst.

People avoided him because he was a Talisman, a word so far removed from its Arabic roots as to be unrecognizable, "untouchabe," they said, or "outcast". But he wasn't outcast, and every village had one, kept around to ward off evil spirits. "It's not a bad gig," he said to himself.

Before the #talisman,
the men #destroyed and #demolisbed the land,
tempting fate,
plundering destiny;

then one nocturnal feast,
a stranger brought the object,
and the men agreed upon
mutual submission,
and the lands flourished

Moonset in #Quatern Come to me as owl to witch spit for me your little pellets crack open their dressage of fear I must collect their wealthy bones Parchment scratches under quill nib come to me as owl to witch visions swarm in darkest of night squirrels spar over hoarded pinecones Is this all I may ever be? Phantom of possibility come to me as owl to witch I want you with me, snapped star twigs Stumped and surrounded by mushrooms your acorn tears erode my flesh decrepit clawing from compost come to me as owl to witch

Owls can see in the dark
I envy that.
The way they perch on silence,
listening for the sound of forfeit.

"Did you know half the owls in the forest are androids," she said, "they're part of a deep state logic system that depends on the hoots of real owls to keep the algorithms in balance." He laughed and wondered why she lied so much, but he liked her anyway, "hoot, hoot," he replied.

"Every forest is a chapel," she said, "every tree an alter." He liked the sound his footsteps made in the dry leaves and the snapping of twigs, "I'm just glad they don't have weird books I have to remember," he replied, "I think the squirrels are a nice touch too."
