Blithe

You’ve gone too far this time
to know what you’ve even done.

You beggar. I should have known
when you pushed my mouth open

that you were just hungry.
I won’t tell your children about it

if you promise never to have children.
I’ve dipped my hands into your man-made

lake, my fingers withered, I won’t be cruel.
You stole. No more, no less than that.

O there are some blithe things in this world,
but none so miserable as you.
