Dinner Party For The Condemned Poem by Alysza Ripley

Dinner Party For The Condemned



Jewels
Catching the light
Illuminating
Faces echoing off the
Gem
Mocking the reason
Why she is there
In the first place
Light shines
In the ruby
Showing
Just what the world would be
If she stood and watched it
Catch fire
