"The Witch Who Grants Wishes"
by Christian Chavez
Hiding in the forest, a desolate witch confides with the moon
Granting wishes to all who seek her boon
With gleam in their eyes, a child swore
They would find the witch and wish for toys, candy, and more
Poised and ready, no fear showing
The child entered, greatly entrenched in not knowing
Wishes and riches were all that you sought
But I will bestow thee something greater, it will not be for naught.
My child drowned, so I’ll take you for mine
I’ll sew you back together with my resplendent twine.
Cry not my child, I will be your mother
My beautiful sweeting, my darling isomer
Sinew stretches forward with malformed bending
Bone escapes skin, elasticity ultimately ending
Past your sweet supple skin shows of what you consist
My darling, my beloved, I cannot help but give you a kiss
I love you, I love you, oh how you cause joy to unfurl
My beloved sweeting, my elegant pearl
Your yummy moans cause my motherhood to trigger
Your cries are so nice, my darling intoner.
Vice, mania, zeal, all high
How beautiful you’ve become, my oh my
Oh? My child, why do you scream?
You’ve transcended grace, you’ve achieved our dream
Becoming a doll rids oneself of pain
And the hurt that can come from consequence and blame
Now nothing you do is your fault, I guarantee
You belong to something important now. You belong to me.
Somewhere in the forest, bathed by the light of the moon
Is a quiet child and a happy mother, humming a tune
They do not yearn, they need not for more
For the splendid child, “You are all I adore~”
