Hecate

full appeared the moon
and when they around the altar took their places

thin fire is racing under skin
and in eyes no sight and drumming
fills ears

crossable

downrushing

danger

Witch (n.)

1. a woman who wants; a dangerous, ambitious woman.

2. silver-tongued desires shouted into a frosty night

echoing

among the trees
