Work


I have nearly perfected
the art of the inane deferential tone
flattery in a few short sentences.
Lightly seasoning the words with idioms
based on location
but rest assured,
every heart is blessed with equal fervor.

I can make well wishes
and salutations sound like
curses.
You'll never see my long hair
or my cauldron or a single
solitary talisman.
My profanity is perfectly silent.
