I used to know a witch,
she lived in the
woods south of town.
woods south of town.
Her house smelled like herbs,
and patchouli, and magic.
She baked with spelt flour,
and fruit juice sweeteners.
She made fairies
from scraps
from scraps
of shiny fabric.
She roamed the
land in her van,
land in her van,
traded hats at barter fairs.
I was pretty sure she
was my soul mate,
was my soul mate,
but we never
made it that far.
made it that far.
She died while
i was away,
i was away,
at my distant spot
in the desert.
in the desert.
She left me a
medicine pouch,
medicine pouch,
that guards my
dreams at night,
dreams at night,
and guides me
as i find my way,
as i find my way,
through homemade poems,
and wheat free cakes,
and every full moon
that spins overhead.
that spins overhead.

ReplyDeleteSad and poignant. Hopefully, we've all had at some point such a person in our life.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting what becomes someone's legacy left behind for the rest of us - probably never what they intended or would have thought would be. What will our legacy be we all leave behind to teach, point the way in life or comfort others?
