Fantasy
Curly boy hair childtoe tipping down cellar stairs
what heroics await you
your finger, a switch flicker
a miniature Excalibur
to slay the breath firing
mumbling creaking groaning beast
cantankerously denying the castle
any constant comfort of temperature
oh, the dark invites you
with promises of abundance and plenty
trove treasures of dust and metal
but you must deny for fear of the Shelobs
that linger in the corners of the ceiling
