"Tituba's Song"

I watched the sun go down

I watched the woods dancing to my moves

The moon moving in line with every move

I watched the accused accuse themselves

While the devil standing stripped of all its disguises

Stripping my name of all its white lies

And blinking eyes

In exchange for blinking lights

Blinding the instant site

Rumor has it in the black of some terrible night

That I came creeping upon you starting a fight

With the devil saying "crush him utterly if he shows no love"

But he shows out his face

Outer body experiences that taste

Like spirits in the name of grace

Bewitched like the tales of the time

I must confess

If I knew magic I wouldn’t spend it on satisfying greed

I’d pay cupid top dollar to find my name back clean

And uninjured

Loved and unbroken

White and unstained but in this city

There is no such thing

so

I watched the sun go down

I watched the woods dancing to my moves

The moon moving in line with every move

I watched the horizon become nonexistent

I watched God

My eyes were fixated on this God

so I watched him dance

as the devil watched me join

and from there

I became free.
