Kit Kelen #965 - this is how we burn witches


965
this is how we burn witches 

 
set out an arbitrary rule
like think of a number
fix it in the mind
whistle the dogs will come
learn your tables

some would like this tucked up, swept

it's only a whisper of gossip to light
matches and kerosene these days
see them swoon away in the fumes

once alight
they burn by themselves
fire of hell's already in them

don't have to be grownups for this

and this is the way we wash our hair
wash our hair wash our hair
this is the way we wash our hair
so early in the morning

time passes over the event
I like the screams the best
