cost
grief is the price tag
on an all-consuming love
that we all must pay
to feel love like this once more
I would give my last penny


scorched
tried to smother me
should have discerned you would burn
I am a fire
relinquish
let them fly away
whatever is meant for you
will not pass you by


executed
I was put to death
for the crime of being small
your laws are cruel
tiny mouse in this huge world
no match for your crushing foot
