" What potion should I give the night so she’ll always wonder?

What potion should I give the night so she’ll always wonder?

Her pounding heart’s a rider galloping from the burning wood.


Maybe my pharmacist is awake the next street over?

In a crucible of  bone, snake tears mixed with herbs.


Should I hurry? Call the doctor? A heart like hers is rare.

And to tell the truth, if it shattered, what would I do? "
