Echoes

Echoes is a poem from my forthcoming poetry collection, Conjure Volume 2: Dark Poetry. The book is currently available for pre-order and will be released on June 16, 2025.

My shadow lingers
in the darkest places
where skeletons dance
with corpses while
serenading souls gathered
around time’s cauldron.
I brew storms, awaken death’s
desires while reciting sacred
hymns of those who’ve
come before - healers
long gone, but their echoes
shatter my bones, unveiling
illusions my tomb harbors,
unraveling binds wrapped
around my third eye.
My mind opens to truths
buried in time’s soil.
My ancestors stampede
across my soul as I answer
the crow’s call.
