She Hexes Newscasters*

By Patricia Monaghan

What else could I do? For weeks

it had been one intolerable

word after another, war and

war and war again and it seemed

so easy. A word from me, and

songs sprayed from their mouths,

automatic carols: praise

for the caliber of clouds

and the blue shrapnel sky,

the bombardment of rain,

praise for the maneuvers

of finches and ravens, praise—

but it is not enough, even though

it is my strongest spell, making

beauty out of words. I repeat it,

I repeat it nightly, I burn

blue candles just to keep them

singing. Oh I want real power:

that soldiers, aiming at men’s

hearts, see into them and stop,

that presidents invoke old

powers—earth and wind and

all their deputies—that

generals sit before their maps

telling rapt stories of the dawn.
