Snow White's Dilemma

 Yes, he says, take air. 

Take the air I took from you
When I hit your leg with
A softball bat.  Take the air
You will never take again.
Breathing life into a newborn
Will not replace the air I took.
Blowing life into a new cock
Will not replace the air I took.
Yes, he says, you are not worthy.
Yes, he says, you will be killed.
Pleading for your life on this mountain
Will not change my mind about
Wanting to kill you.
Take the air before the contusion
Forms on your pale skin.
Do not walk with a limp. 
Do not let them know what I did.
I will kill you for that.
Do not write poetry about what I did.
I will kill your poetry for that.
Snow White never told the Prince
About the poison apple.
She killed the Witch.
