Dancing for dinner (Free verse) by fevriere
What am I in your courts, but under your spell?
I will twist in your cauldron and jingle my bells!
I will turn wheels and crack open day,
kick out the sun's yolk and make meringue clouds,
and when you roll away, still bleary-eyed and clasp-handed,
I will spring away and fall back!
I will whip like winter on your window.
I will give you blossom snowshowers
I will offer you starry daffodils
I will hand you twinkling snowdrops
but you only care for narcissi and hemlock.
For want of a breadcrust smile,
I will light the fuse on my brightest tricks
and blow sky high.
