Stoned her to death? Why not? It was unanimous.
All who stood around raised a hand.
Everyone stoned her to death: democratic,
Quite democratic.
Stoned her? And very popular.
Hundreds of eager faces.
Stones for confetti
As if for a mock wedding,
And one last miracle. Stoning to death
Turns a maiden to a cairn.
