Women are witchcraft.
Strong,
Powerful,
Mysterious
And
In flames.
I remember reading about the Salem witch trials,
How 20 were turned to ash,
Because of a man's fear.
What is it about a woman's power,
That scares men so much?
I can't remember a time when a man
Told me that they were
Scared to walk home alone
Scared to be out at night without a weapon
Scared of being told they were
Asking for it.
Inviting assault.
Welcoming the violation of their autonomy.
Scared of a woman.
I have met
So
Many
Women
Broken and destroyed
By a man's grip.
Do they realize that they've created a coven?
An army of witch-girls,
Made of Fire,
And Earth,
And Water,
And Air,
And fucking magic?
It is our turn
To do the burning now.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
