Sweet Offerings
Sugar cubes for spirits
Sugar cubes are free
Sugar for the dandelions
Watch them blow to me
Sugar for the ants tonight
Let them feed their queen
Mama loves some sugar
Bring it back to me
Sugar on the earth
Sugar in the trees
When I go out tonight
I’ll throw it in the leaves
I will ask the grass
I will ask and see
If tree roots take offering
There’ll be more left for me
See it in the air
Feel it in the breeze
Sweetness in the air tonight
Bring it home to me
Toss the sugar to the sky
Throw it on the ground
Dig your palm in sugar delight
Sweetness back to me
Sugar in the lakes
Sugar in the springs
Give the mermaids valentines
They turn it into wine
Someday I’ll build a fire
A fire straight to Hell
Throw a fiery demon down
A sugar skull spell
Oh, I watch them dance
Oh, I watch them burn
Sugar melts in the mouth
Melt it on my tongue
