Witch Finder

I slip in and out beyond twilight
to look  what others see.

Through their eyes fitting as behind a mask 
a discontented observer in a half sleep state.

I know not why but all is to bide my time
in days gone,  a finger pointed at my breast bone 
and declared to the man.......... witch.

There find a storm never seeing the like, hoisted up and hotted feet,
I know not why but all is to bide my time.
