Hansel and Gretel
You know they killed my sister
Those two smiling, towheaded demons
Roasted her alive, picked her bones dry
Killed their mother – slow poison
Nearly got the father too
But I heard…
Yes, but I know.
”Poor things, abandoned,
lured into the cookie cottage”
my sister baked a sugary world
for them to play in
And the father…
I’ve brewed herbs
To draw the darkness from her heart
And clear the poison from the house
He’s so kind, a patient man
Hard working, steady, strong and quiet
…in a corner cage lurked two fat frogs
