Old souls in young bodies,
Pouring out wisdom of 10,000 years
from unwrinkled beings.
Hot coals on cold backs, burning out demons and entities gathered up over millenia.
Sharp needles in soft skin, drawing out ancient ghosts in the form of blood.
Dark nights and bright days,
at sundown we shed our shells and
keep our minds.
