Margaret Atwood Quotes

When They Came To Harvest My Corpse
(open Your Mouth, Close Your Eyes)
cut My Body From The Rope,
surprise, Surprise:
I Was Still Alive.
Tough Luck, Folks,
I Know The Law:
you Can't Execute Me Twice
for The Same Thing. How Nice.
I Fell To The Clover, Breathed It In,
and Bared My Teeth At Them
in A Filthy Grin.
You Can Imagine How That Went Over.
Now I Only Need To Look
out At Them Through My Sky-blue Eyes.
They See Their Own Ill Will
staring Then In The Forehead
and Turn Tail
Before, I Was Not A Witch.
But Now I Am One.
