From the kingdom of darkness

witches fly out

not with brooms, with feathers

that sharpen like arrows.

 

Opinionated they call them

because they have no compunction

Unearth crime, transas

and the occasional contempt of court

 

No macho or quarrelsome

to be saved from its ink

and do not let go of their inkwell

not even if they are threatened

 

These witches are mules

and instead of being at home

taking care of children and dishes

rampage with words

 

The reaper is looking for them

she has been hired by some kingpin

to silence those voices

that make him uncomfortable, what a naco!

 

But she loves these witches

with data, letters and commitment,

death joins their ranks

and the bad guys get collars
