Good morning! Join me for a cup of coffee?

The air tastes like iron tonight.
The moon isn’t full yet—but close enough that my bones already hum beneath my skin. I can feel the pull, low and steady, like a heartbeat I don’t remember being mine.

You humans call it superstition.
I call it appetite.

So drink your coffee while you can,
because tomorrow, when the moon is full…
I’ll be hungry.

Red Head Beast Beauty

A #skull of bull, with eyes of stone,
That claims the flesh it calls its own.

Fear it more when form doth change,
A #transformation #dark and #strange
A woman with a #crimson mane,
To lure you in with #sweet disdain.

So fly that smile, that russet hair,
That hides the monster in its lair
For pleasure is her only #prayer
You are but the #prey caught there.

"They were never meant to rest…”

The Rusalka are spirits of drowned women—betrayed lovers, victims of violence, or unwed mothers who met their end in rivers and lakes.

Denied peace, they rose again, bound to the waters.
