ritus erit veteris, nocturna Lemuria, sacri:
inferias tacitis manibus illa dabunt
May
Ghost feast
Lemuria
make offerings
to all the ghosts
at midnight
when dogs
& cocks
are fast asleep
walk barefoot
thumb
pressed through
your fingers
warding off
the hungry dead
wash your hands
in pure spring water
turn
& throw
black beans
away
9 x
face averted
say
I cleanse my house
the shade
walking behind you
wash your hands
again
& ring
a bell
9 x
ask all souls
to leave your house
go away
ghost elders
go
