Cliff dwellers
Flint rich
Ute wind
Arrowheads dance

Fire-blackened stones
Scorpions assist the Witch
Whirlwind comes along
Scatters Fire

Dead cedar
Conflagration
Sacrifices unholy arrival
His disappearance charred remains

It imprisoned him and starved him
It drowned him and split him
It lost him and fried him
It clamped him within the cliffs

It's what happens
When you drink
From the Witch's bottle
Without reading
The Label
