ON NOTICE

This time, I will not hide. I am waiting for you, ready with yellow flowers, with clear water and a red bird, with white paper and a lamp. This time, you will not succeed.

Now I know the words, I know the tune. I have been singing all day long. My hair smells like apples. My hands are stained with currant juice and mud. Do you think

you can break in again? I have collected all your keys and all my windows are open. Did you see the moon last night? I have nothing you can destroy and everything I have is yours.
