Naked Under Feathers

She's dragged in, tarred and feathered
Placed on the splintered rail
A cruel phallic joke
Then ridden through Salem town
She vows certain vengeance
Retribution down the road
At some point years hence
In a twisted future tense
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She drops in at the local bar
A drift of feathers at her feet
The residue of tar now shed
Her flesh gleaming after centuries
Her exquisite naked form
Balanced on a stool
This shivering refugee  
A survivor from the past
Mayhap a lover of the present
A witch in the here and now
Doesn't speak the latest lingo
Just shut up and take her home.
