Song of The Witches
"Song of the Witches," drawn from Shakespeare's Macbeth, is a poem that pulls readers into a midnight ritual as three witches circle a cauldron, hurling poisoned entrails, serpent fillets, and stranger horrors into a bubbling hell-broth. Each grotesque ingredient — eye of newt, lizard's leg, a strangled infant's finger — is chanted with gleeful precision, building toward a charm of terrifying power. The hypnotic refrain "Double, double toil and trouble" drives the incantation forward, making darkness feel almost musical.
