Death is Green- Ashima Bunny

A green witch in your fables

Always escaped

Brought nothing but death

I remember running to bed

Before it struck ten

"One, two, three and green,

You will turn into a witch"

It's midnight,

Time for my potion, a concoction

For my health

"One, two, three and green,

You will turn into a witch"

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,

You will turn into a witch"

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 skin to my bones

It's your fables versus my yearning

Like leaves versus autumn

A devil and a goddess

A death, turning green

I always behaved, I hope I was a good protege

"One, two, three and green,

The witch is coming"

This green

Is creeper

A dart left to kill

A poisoned wound

It's midnight,

Time for my potion, a concoction

For my health

Green, witch and death.
