Things Witches Say

2019

This is a found poem, meaning most of the words are not my own. Rather, I collected these lines, these sentences, these prayers from witches over the years and arranged them into a poem. These are things used in ritual, things heard at witchcamps, things said by friends and loved ones, and things I've said. The song at the beginning comes from the Reclaiming Witchcraft tradition.

This piece was performed September 14th, 2019 at the Mercury Cafe in Denver as part of my solo performance show, Body Like Scripture. Videography was done by Shruti Kaul.
