unearthly
adjective, /ʌn'ə:θli/
- the full moon is a lit chandelier above you that could fall any second. as you walk, the forest dirt stains your skin black with ritual ink. around you are bushes of roses so dark they could only be coloured by blood. there’s white lace on your neck and the pretty bowed ribbon is strangling you.
- the frigid wind blows through you and your body swirls away like cigarette smoke, then you’re coughing on marlboro and it tastes like freedom. the mascara on your eyelashes is running into your hair so you brush it across your cheeks like war paint. the tarots are on your side tonight. the wolves are watching your path, leader of the pack, spirit of the woods.
- they’ll find your bones buried in a shallow grave and you’ll watch as they polish them like trophies. in their hands your skull will grow horns curled and ridged and as sharp as your tongue, and your eyes will alight like kindling and set their worlds ablaze.
