I buried the body

deep in the ground

far out of view

and far from the town.

No one will find her,

or that is my hope.

Maybe I should have

put her in the moat.

It started out innocent

and that was my wish,

but true tail can’t be told

for forbidden is this.

For now I return

to claim all my glories.

I pray she won’t be found.

Even the dead tell stories.
