Poem with a Storm

Now women return from afar, from always: from without, from the heath where witches are kept alive; from below, from beyond…-- Hélène Cixous

wake up

she said

it is time

to reclaim

the lost

witch within

witch as name

for wise and

kind witch

for knowing

power

as energy

the lightening

on edge

of the heath

is our magic

our portent
