They Swear

Brandon S. Roy

Old men swear that late at night you can hear
the cries of the girl in the woods, horrible
cracking voices that burn the ears and scatter
the birds. The night air dries and stills.

Under a full moon, they weave tales of what
happen to the girlfriend cut throat word of
mouth gossip stories about how she was a
witch and she laughed when they tried to
drown her. They say they cut her hands off
so she couldn’t bewitch her. Her eyes saw fire

The men started to burn her fleshpot watched
her bone turn white in the flame, her howls
pierce the trees and creeper up their spines
in the morning, her ashes were washed in the
river.

to this day, the old men swear when the moon is
full and water is low you will hear her screams
while the river tints red in the glow of stars
