Poem, Impolite Insistence, Not Technically A Threat, No More Magic Please


Giving A Cookie
July 23, 2024

I did not say the magic word
your linguistic bend of knee
I decline, I require no obeisance
nor will I reply in kind

unless, insisting, you find required
your blood to fire, your pyre gold
brought on by the only word I know
in tragic power, aflame
