Death is Green- Ashima Binny

A green witch in your fables

Always escaped

Brought nothing but death

I remember going to bed

Before it struck ten

"One, two, three and green

I would turn into a devil"

It's midnight,

Time for my potion, a concoction

For my health

"One, two, three and green

I would turn into a devil"

What is green?

It is grassy

It is mossy

It is muddy

It is slippery

It's the earth and my body

It shines

It devours

"One, two, three and green

I would turn into a devil"

Am I sleeping? Am I dead?

It is withering

It is lost

Green to brown, to black, to dust

An aching lullaby, ebbing away

From my skin to my bones

It's your fables versus my yearning

Like leaves in autumn

A devil and a creature

A death, turning green

I always behaved, I hope I was a good prot

"One, two, three and green

Ph! Take me to the devil "

This green

Is creeper

It is a poisoned wound

A dart left to kill

It's midnight,

Time for my potion, a concoction

For my health

Green, witch and death
