BLESSING
Only good things. Best wishes roll off your forked tonguesurrounding me, limp, to do me good.
Your evil eye sways the walls. There’s no
current from the fire. The world will end in this room.
I’ll still hear from you. I won’t escape. Then with a bang
mountains crumble, stairs collapse, every wall will
fall to the ground.
