Bones

Soul Card by Deborah Koff Chapin

Owl on the doorstep
neat as a pin;

say the right word

and she'll let you in.

Hollow is the heart
that has left love out;

but if it tries to fool you

smack it on the snout.

Witches in the meadow

beckon us to follow.

wolves are a-wilding

down in the hollow.

Bones so brittle;

bones that are hollow-

suck out the marrow;

try not to swallow.

Crooked witchy fingers,

hollow as a bone;

if she points one at you,

you have to take her home.

Some nonsense for the Soul Card Journey with Elizabeth Crawford.
