Be-Witched

October 30, 2025October 31, 2025 Sarah W

How to be a witch:
– Stir moonlight into tea.
– Keep secrets in jars and herbs by the window.
– Learn the language of cats.
– Collect whispers from old trees.
– Never fear the dark (it’s where your power grows).
– Write wishes on bay leaves.
– Grind the night to powder.
– Let your blood remember flames.
– Light no fire you can’t control.
– Draw your circle, toss the salt and watch the smoke.
– Bind your fear in thread.
– Know every shadow by name.
– Let the wind braid your hair.
– Walk barefoot through your thoughts.
– Laugh with the ghosts and scream with storms.
– And always love fiercely…

(then disappear once you’re done)

Things that stir at night (a list poem)

October 22, 2025October 22, 2025 Sarah W

A clock sighing, It’s witching hour.
Curtains breathing through closed windows.
A piano being played by invisible hands.
Teacups trembling on a kitchen shelf.
Rusted keys jangling in unopened locks.
Portrait eyes gleaming with muted light.
Candles flickering without a flame.
A chill curling around the spine.
Calling out half-formed words from trembling lips and…
a ghostly whisper answering back.
