Woodland Pinnacle

by Zainab Waseem
When the moon gets full enough to show the hidden trails
Take a step, feel the textures of the sprouting cattails
Relish the poison in the mist, breathed in with your every inhale
Sing the whispers in your ears of the forbidden untold tales
Prick your fingers on thorns of roses, let your desires prevail
Guilty pleasures trickling down your body, uncovering all your veils
The cannabis rush from your lungs ascending to every fingernail
Woodland pinnacle through your soul hushed into silent wails
Tainted witchcraft, veins forsaken, runes carved to the finest detail
Revel in misery of misfortuned history, curse your own twisted tale
