she was always attracted to white witchcraft
nature, herbs, and casting kindness spells
held a great appeal to her.
her family didn’t understand her.
fundamentalist christians, they thought
she was indulging in the works of the devil.
when her father was dying of cancer
and had only three months to live
she diagnosed him with her second sight
and cast a special kindness spell that healed him.
her family never knew she helped them,
and they never reconciled with her.
