Hansel or Gretel

  
“Hansel or Gretel?”

Don’t really matter...

Did you hear that creek?
Did you feel that crack?
I feel hunger.
Do you know the way back?

No, no. Wait, watch,
Come to feed the fish?
Drop a coin.
Make a wish.

The pond is silent.
The bed is naught but salt.
It’s been that way,
Forgotten waltz.

The waters gone black,
Drop your coins, spill your tears.
This pond’s been stagnant,
Too many years.

So...

“Hansel or Gretel?”
  
Don’t really matter...

Do you hear the creek?
Do you feel the crack?
I feel hunger.
Do you know the way back?
