Her cloak is red and black, and stained with light,

with gold and silver dancing in her eyes:

it hides the watching shadows of the night.

-------

Behind, the brush of sunset sets the skies

alight; the fire spills across her face:

with gold and silver dancing in her eyes

-------

she dips her head and lifts her hands to trace

a binding spell, a rune. The stars are all

alight; the fire spills across her face

-------

and down her cloak; the sunset bonfires fall

and fade. She drops her hands and starts to sing

a binding spell, a rune. The stars are all

-------

ablaze and watchful, bright and glimmering.

Her spells wrap tight about my soul: they spark

and fade. She drops her hands and starts to sing

-------

another tune, a drawing, sweet and dark.

Her cloak is red and black, and stained with light

(her spells wrap tight about my soul, and spark):

it hides the watching shadows of the night.
