Nightwitches

night witches
on their broomstick byplanes
and crop dusters.
hot from the Kremlin
under Slalin's wing
what  vision musters
almost silent flight
under the radar
in moonlight..
they bring a nasty sting
of destruction behind
enemy lines..
Sweet maidens of Russia
what became of you?
did you return to society
and nurture your family
become Soviet babooshkas
when you duty was served..?
or like the ladies of Bletchly
facing their Enigma
when their war was done
discover a new vocation
and breached a man's world
before and aft..
solving international crime
in their spare time..
with just a little witch craft
