Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe.

                                          Keep it secret, keep it safe.

For journals and thoughts and hidden presents; protect it with words that even Gandalf will utter. Intent is on distracting prying eyes so that they forget about your secrets, keeping them buried safe behind other thoughts. 

When I perform more than one curse on a person, I put all the leftovers (smoldering herb ends, ashes of photos, wax that didn’t melt, burnt matches) into a jar. It becomes their jar. Their jar goes outside on the patio. It waits. 

I did… several curses on 45. All of that stuff- in the jar. Jar on the patio. Waits. 

Today I heard a ‘clink’ from outside. I went to investigate. 

The constant change of weather patterns here in the midwest has caused the glass to shatter. 

Now, the jar that I put 45′s leavings in was a candle jar. These things are intended to withstand temperature changes, since they often house fire. So for it to become this brittle, it had to go through a lot of extremes. 

Of course, this is easily explained by natural events- however, I find a small kind of poetry in this. Will likely be watching the news a little more closely.
