In History

Witchcraft was hung, in history
But History and I
Find all the Witchcraft that we need 

Around us, every Day— 

Emily Dickinson

incantations. 

Tracing my steps back. Bit by bit. 
So I engage. To conversation.

Left in the flypage, note to self,

"In the pain of man's fall into existence, 
lies the measure of his freedom."
That's all. She asked if they "breathed," 
and planted them.
