The Request Poem by Sophia Conway
The Request
Rating: ★5.0
I told no one.
I cannot remember why. My heart
beating when I laid hands on a request
to, upon the brain of black ink, burn my secret.
This new hand of that
day was still as a mouse.
He got nothing out of me
to praise. The truth is in silence
My dear.
