Voodoo Doll : A Modern Long Haiku

 Of malice and hate

An effigy of intent

Burlap, buttons, thread


When the moon is full

The witching hour's at hand 

Black candles are lit


Nail clippings and hair

Tissues from a bloody nose

A stolen photo


A stich here and there

Through the eye of a needle

Stuff and seal it shut


Silence fills the air

It begins with blood

Fill the cup and drink


Beckoning whispers

Giving birth to rising chants

The wind sings along


Faster and louder

His dark eminence summoned

Vengeance is at hand


Push the pins deep

Excruciating pain

Exquisite anguish


The hearts blood spills out

Spent, exhausted, but fulfilled

Burn Voodoo Doll Burn
