Afraid of The "Woulds"

Afraid of The "Woulds"

A Poem by Pete
"

I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark, though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced. - Thoreau

"
The Allure of the Swamp Witch | Witch aesthetic, Swamp, Witch

sometimes won't would
other times a word speaks more than it should
yesterday and today are often mistaken for tomorrow
stealing is always disguised as borrow

sometimes the rain hurts
other times poise disconcerts
not all witches can fly
why would a question be afraid to ask why
