I Tell the Old Woman To Dip Her Own Pail in the Well

 

Like the little girl in the fairy tale

I get wrong-ways of a witch.

 

Frogs and snails

fly from my mouth,

stirred in a serpent’s brew,

anger the spoon.

 

Words, those erstwhile pearls

grown tawdry, become wild

flashers, serrate the air,

whistling their dark way South.

 

Without the least regret,

I ache to taste the profane.
