witchhunt

what did we ever do to you?

you were too heavy to cling to our coattails

too loud to hide beneath our skirts

too scared for solitude

cut loose and treading water

what did you expect from us?

you sullied us with scarlet letters

wasted our witchery like wine

slipped a joker into the deck

darkened every dawn

demanding that we sink
