Poison on the Tip of Your Pen
by Maryam B. Mirza
Poison on the tip of your pen.
You suck it, savour
the bitter drug
It is the ink you write your
poems with.
It's fatal, so you spew it
all over the world,
contaminate,
leave them to swill it,
drink it, die.
Your words a kiss
so simple, so sweet,
sugar, honey, love
death
