The Beggars Secret

the beggars secret
which grants a nights passage
to the great Sewer Bazaar
you can buy back your sister
you can buy a rhinos trumpet
and win the bugs gambit
you’ll be given a coin, and now you cannot see
they take your rhymes
and your mothers name
and your fathers name
they’ve taken your sister again
and you are alone
in an ally
and you whisper to a boy
the beggars secret
