Two Little Stars
Summary: Share the same fate.
I felt like making something else for these two.
Hanging on a stem
Surrounded by
Green leaves
Its purple skin
Draws in a fox.
She knows what it is
Unlike the boy
And she knows
The truth.
She won't make it.
So she bites down,
The juice escapes
Into her mouth
Down her chin
As she lays
On the forest floor.
A star goes dark.
A dozen -
If not more
- Rest in the bowl.
They reflect the light
In the room,
Glittering
In this shiny cell.
The guards wait
For the thump
Beyond the door,
Once the man
Grasps onto the
Shred of courage
The girl had exhibited
In his arena.
And the other falls.
