#WyrdWednesday The Zorra Berradeira or Screaming Fox is a spirit said to roam the Algarve in Portugal at night, filling the air with it's eerie howls and foul stench. To hear it's cry is an omen of death or disaster. It is sometimes described as looking like a goat with wings.

🎶 And on that bed there was a girl
And on that girl there was a man
And from that man there was a seed
And from that seed there was a boy
And from that boy there was a man
And for that man there was a grave
And from that grave there grew a tree...
And on that tree there was a limb... 🎵

🎶 “Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants.” 🎶
Scary Gorgon
The quill from a buzzard, the blood writes the word
I wanna know am I the sky or a bird?
'Cause hell's boiling over & heaven is full
We're chained to the world & we all gotta pull
And we're all gonna be, yah yah
I said we're all gonna be, yah yah x2
I said we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground

California is a garden of Eden,
a paradise to live in or see;
But believe it or not,
