Witchcraft

Chris Juris

It's like they made you a double in business-Haiti

But TV-viewers never get the picture

Do you feel their exhorting needles?

You're flesh and bone and trendy wear



It's all an ever-lasting séance

Your term is under a spell



Facets from the eye of the beholder

All spread around the world

Flesh and bone walking like a jumping jack

Selling their coffins to escape death



Ever paid attention to the witches in the garden?

Dancing round autos-da-fé

Playing commercial tunes on their recorders



Facets from the eye of the beholder

Spread around a frayed balloon

Classified purpose dancing like a sorceress



Flesh and blood submit to their religion

Flesh and bone walking like a....

TV-viewers never get the picture



Dancing like an ogre

Dancing in a witchcraft dance

Walking like a monster



They made you a double in business-Indies

Walking like the dead



It's the Hong Kong angels in the air

In witch's clothing

Fobbing the blind off with canes of plastic

Talking like the wizard

Looking like and thinking like

The witch you keep burning at your garden stake
