Pentagram

I breathe,
Chanting,
Whispering,
Casting,
Athame poised,
Ready, Sharp,
Porcelain skin,
Soft and tender,
Painted with blood,
A pentagram shape,
Mind concentrated,
Pain suspended,
Midnight chimes,
The time hath come,
Athame lowered,
Pierced the skin,
Five straight lines,
A circle to seal,
The spell,
Blood trickling,
A never-ending stream,
Pain returned,
The cuts stung,
Dazed into a daydream,
Of the future,
Horrible premonitions,
About this sacrifice,
That I live.
