Magic— Day Sixteen of NaPoWriMo 2021

The witch is a madwoman, a reservoir of anger, a book of potions, watching you in the creeps of your day.

The witch is brewing desire of revenge, a speck of innocence, a massacre of life, a powerhouse of vengeance, lurking in the shadows as you move.

The witch is a poem unsent, a letter delivered to the wrong address, a spell that wasn’t cast, a slither of curiosity in the brimming sunset you see.

The witch is devil-sent, a forerunner of misery, a dichotomy of faith, harbinger of wickedness, the leaves that crunch on your evening walk.

The witch is magic, moving along with you.
