The Spiral’s at Hand

My sisters, we’re burning —
but not in that fire!
The spiral’s at hand —
where — we love, rule, and flower
Our world into life. It’s

our time to inspire —
My sisters! We’re burning!
But not in that fire —
Our witchy souls fly — home —
to truth and desire,

Turning at last —
in — our own sacred power —
My sisters. We’re burning.
But not in that fire!
The spiral’s at hand —
where we gather — and flower —
