 tuck your shirt in

keep out the cold 

each day same as it ever was

but no matter 

what good is it 

for you to have a cold belly

remember common folk

are good

(must be)

your heroine sat on a secret

pulled it’s silky, rancid feathers

one by one out of the rotting down pillow she sat on to spin her tales each day 

that bigness in her that wanted to get it so right 

down on the page 

but rotten rotten 

now the books smell bad 

so tuck in 

keep that belly safe 

and listen to your children
