Heroine to the Readers Foe of the Witch Hunt

incongruent sweet brier
to witch hazel unagreeable
to shepherd's purse the christian
devil be plagued with pleurisy...[Sage Sweetwater]

saddleblanket striped
red with fever
yellow with jaundice
green with envy

bridle of copper
rheumatism puts religion down
euthanasia eases pulpit fever

reins pull down like a witching fork
peyote nearby
artesian well a tisane for prolonged life

brewing ale barley water
a sage cleansing with adobe mission
cursing false gods with painful priapism

the stink of bear grease
behind clumps of 
sagebrush rains quills
they eye the Cherokee writer
like a vulture bordering her thousand
acres of registered ISBN's

heroine to the readers
foe of the witch hunt and
suspicions charges of sorcery
in league with cornplanter
bankers invite her quill holdings
mark her deposits with lavender ink
on her calendar of pagan festivals
Samhain make a transaction
she withdraws the spirit coin
buffalo nickel
