Bliss’s Obsidian Wand

“Maleness is magic, the potent principle of universal creativity.” ~ Camille Paglia, Sexual Personae, 40
A warlock holds his Sabbath in his hand.
He doesn’t need a cauldron or a hex.
He hypnotizes members of the band
Of swaying skirted witches wanting sex
With Satan’s stab to make within them pain
Of his formation. They would have his power,
His penetration leaving scales of stain
Like scars so hard that they will scrape and scour
In preparation for womb-crafting in
His coven anti-saviors made of slime
And evil, genesis of hulk within
The women his unleashing thrusting crime.
He wants to flex his wand in every one
Of them to make a black creation sun.
~ Phillip Whidden
