Peggy


In Pasadena, five miles east of Misery,
          Lived Peggy.
         Peggy Clevenger
    Clevenger is a Hussian Name. 
 She could turn herself into a rabbit. 

The Pine Barrens once had their own witch.
Their own particular witch.
The Witch of the Pines,
Peggy Clevenger.
It was said she had gold. 
A dog was chasing the rabbit.
A Man saw a lizard and tried to kill it.
Pineys put salt over their doors to discourage visits.

Peggy lived in Pasadena, another vanished towns.
       One morning, five miles east of Misery,
           In the smoking remains of her cabin,
                 Peggy Clevenger
                   Her remains.
       But there was no trace of the gold.
