Thunder, Witches, and Queen

I love this walk lightening on this isle
slide into your brain cells, I park.

I'm rolling heartache
in your love daggered night.

Your imaginary lover departs.

I stand on solid ground.
You tremble, pastor me, and preach,
I ping millions of fibers
inside your blue hornet eyes,
tormented, dark visions-
black haunted night,

you scream out of pitch

"You bitch,
you're nothing but thunder,
witches and queen."
