Witchcraft

By Joanna M. Weston

two women giggle
in church
           scandal and shame

they will be
burnt at the stake
for Sunday witchcraft —
finding humour
amidst the holy

           may the solemn die young
           and these two
           wrinkled as tired laundry
           laugh into heaven
           as the flames rise
