So Warm, So Sweet

by J.E. Remy

Gingerbread house stitched
with candy floss
So warm
the bread
So sweet
the flavor

Fallen in an oven
a cannibalistic witch
So warm
her flesh
So sweet
the scent

Children needing food
other than gingerbread
So warm
the bread
So sweet
the scent

Learning from their captor
the ways of the wood
So warm
her flesh
So sweet
the flavor
