Witch, witch!

Burn her bones, they're still tied to the stake.

Find her!

They mount the stake.

Burn her house to the ground,

slaughter her horses!

They gather the straw.

She will pay,

in the name of the lord.

They knot the ropes.

Find the witch!

Catch the witch!

They light the pitches.

Burn her,

hang her from a noose!

A slip of the foot.

There she is!

Witch, witch!

Leaves beneath her bare feet.

Search the woods!

A shot through the trees.

Pick her up!

A trail of blood.

Tie her up!

A path through the dirt.

Get her hands,

tie them behind her back!

A body on the straw.

Light the matches!

A puff of smoke.

Burn the witch!

Burn the witch!

Burn the witch!

Witch

witch

witch!

A twitch of the finger.

The witch

her insides will burn!

Turn to ash

from

the inside

out!

A roll of the eyes.

Her skin will boil!

A body writhing.

Take your fate,

witch!

Eyes sinking in.

Her

lungs will

collapse!

O!

Her fingers

will bleed!

Bones restrained.

They hold her sins,

let them burn!

the witch is gone,

the witch is dead.

they skinned her

and beat her

for the fear

of dark magic

they once possessed.

I love the gore and history this leaves me with. Makes me think of the Salem Witch Trails.

I loved this poem and how it went back and fourth through two speakers. Reminds me of a the book Witch of BlackBird Pond, that i once read when i was younger. In all, wonderful poem!
