Piggy-witch. Your black charms are delightful!
Piggy -witch – you throw spells over my rotten cabbages- turn them into human heads.
Piggy-witch- you vomit up daffodils
Use your umbrella as a broomstick.
Fly off in rainstorms - under crackle and yellow thunder
Piggy-witch
Piggy witch
Piggy –witch
You kiss toads & curse princes.
Eat black moonlight and fungi
Zoom through electric galaxies. Buttocks wobbling.
Breaking the pattern of the stars
