And just how would you react,
if someone cheats you? A deal
is a deal is a deal
is the power of your word: a promise.
I spun gold
from straw. Do you even know how labor
intense that process is? How thankless peasants
in dungeons become
when they shift the ivory tower?
She got it all: the fame, the fortressed castled,
the handsome prince. Was my fee really so high?
She would have other sons
I will never have an heir to teach the magic of strands
from straw
to repeat my legacy
to bear my name.
