    The Crone’s Lament

    My tongue they stole,

    my nose they maimed,
    For secrets whispered and magic named.


    They feared the truth,

    that dripped like rain,
    That power born in pain brings flame.

    I bore no sword, I cast no stone,
    Yet still they cast me out alone.
    Bound and blind, I crossed the moor,
    With curses trailing like wolves at the door.

    “Let the thirteenth child suffer my fate,”
    I spat through blood at the village gate.
    “Let every line remember me,
    When thunder walks and wolves run free.”

    But still I mourn, though wrath was mine
    The babes I lost, the bloodline’s line.
    I gave the curse to stars and skies,
    Yet I too break when a child cries.
