Witches’ Brood : –

Prithee

Set a spell become       familiar with

her-STORY :/== TEAR OFF

the nails,

Insert the BROOM JUST SO

HERE WE LIE

Prescient as Druid’s stones

Our ergot baked

in witches’ cakes

Raised the dog’s leg

For a kiss OF SHAME

Nathaniel changed his name

ON HISTORY’S hindquarters

OUR LIVESTOCK cannot rise

So much AT STAKE

THE TESTAMENT

OF shadows CRUSHES

US between CONFESSION STONES

THIRTEEN patients suffer triskaidekaphobia

I FEAR

FOR ALL THE GOODE

of Salem Town

OR WE ALL

might HAVE well
