can't dance
shackles L o C k E d

Tripple whipping

as fire ingites
without match

my soul burns
and organ-ic ashes
purge

demons in my dream
create fear in this
God loving
God fearing woman

ancestors praying protection
wordchants ringing in my ears

Killing demon spirits in my dream
with smoke from
Frankinscense and myrr

...

when I wake with eyes a blurr
I ask God,

"What does this all mean?"
