Witch
Tamar Liberman

Aflame to the core
I hang down by cord
My lover’s incant
Blaring louder than Lord.

Yes, I confess
Till consummate deed
I’m one with the beast
Her fire-breathing need.

Stranger to Satan
I severed my sense
Rites for a man
Mark my only offense!

In his holy virtue
My vices begin.

The sight of the saint

Is the stake of my sin.
