  _Long before blood poured from flesh,_
  
  
  _and breath clung to bone,_
  
  
  _before the ancient runes were ground to glass_
  
  
  _to shift shapes in the aether,_
  
  
  _back when mothers whispered truths_
  
  
  _cloaked as once-upon-a-times,_
  
  
  _Know this, little ones, they said._
  
  
  _When day breaks, frost becomes a flame._
  
  
  _When dusk falls, beasts become the prey._
  
  
  _And when the moon is weeping,_
  
  
  _the witches do their reaping._
