AS SHE SLUMBERS

Lyrics & Music by E. December Joseph
© Copyright 2016-2022

There’s purpose in a rotting vine,
There’s anguish in a glass of offered wine.
There’s darkness in her poweredbeauty weeping
And there’s horror often, never seen creeping.
She feels something slightly amiss,
As her disdain takes a drastic twist!
Friend or foe or sister dear, her eyes have
Turned black and her hellish intent clear.

As she slumbers
She dreams of death
Looking forward to whatever
Comes next.
As she muses over written tears
She slowly stirs, flesh and fear.

Cattails sweet, they smell of gloom
She’s not far,
She’s hidden in the room
They know she’s mad, there’s no doubt,
They try hard not to talk about
Her touch is cold, like mountain rain
Her sisters fear she’s insane!
The step mother spits and turns her back
Silent crows quickly claw and attack.

She plotted to take their very souls,
But instead, decided to just eat them whole.
Chop! Chop! Off with their heads
A stew made best, with the freshly dead.
Confused the stepmother asked, “Where’s my girls?”
Nothing said, but darkness stirs,
Here’s a bowl, another bowl makes two.
They’re not far,
Now eat your stew!
