The sorcerer's
a xmas tree
in a rowboat
kind of asshole

next

Seriously, which house is
the wolf? I'm sick of your
life glow and falsetto so we're

going to just hold hands in
the seance canoe, see which
seeds'll root, spark out
a theme song. An ounce
of carnival, everyone knows
opens all the doctor's demons

next

So the sorcerer invites you out
to the pits, to power line road
to the bend then after
a couple dozen beers, the black-eyed
children come out, freshly
dead and make it all about them

next

Michael Sikkema is not a shaman. Please stop sending the $ and carcasses.
