Act I

Give me a moment
to prepare:

I will never be held
unaccountable,
if you hadn’t read the last
I am abominable, still.

I thrive under scalding water
but not for long; as my song
is laced with lyrics of thunder.
I am sharp icy glares, pale skin
& a tongue of fire.

I am free where you cannot see
even if locked inside.
I am the wild mistake with an
ancient key.
Mold me into the role
you wish me to be &

I decide how long I play (safe).
