starting again
at fifty
I scrape
every last bit
of peanut butter
from
the jar

their brooms
broken and burned at the stake
the witches
assemble at the village gate
to exact a gruesome vengeance
there are spells
we learned from the old ones
herbs on the fire
the chant deep and low ...
'the devil take your soul'

wintering…
the birch and maple
have given up their leaves
while I remain cocooned
in memories
