<p>“please tell us about what goes on beyond the castle,”<br />
the little girls plead at my feet<br />
with faces upturned, awaiting a story<br />
worthy of their short attentions</p>
<p>“alright,” I reply, promising a worthy tale.<br />
“there are people who write up storms with nothing than a pen<br />
fancying themselves worthy of multitudes of praise<br />
sculpting giants and kingdoms under their fingers.</p>
<p>once in a lifetime, they find a person<br />
who ignites a blaze underneath them<br />
and they dance around with the flame<br />
flickering into the night</p>
<p>they whirl them into hurricanes and summer showers<br />
in miracles, they bloom to life on the page<br />
outrunning the sun, but in retrospect<br />
they are always still mortals bleeding between the pages.”</p>
