Brosca's Battlecry

Summary:

A short poem for a short Brosca - wait, no, I didn't mean it like that! A response to 'Intemperance', by Oleander's One.

Notes:

This poem is inspired by and dedicated to Oleander's One; more specifically, to her character Maynee Brosca who appears in Intemperance. She appeared in my head and said, "You. Pay attention, 'cos I'm only saying this once."

Work Text:

What do you think
you're looking at, duster?
You don't know anything
of my story. You never will

 

I won't tell it.

 

You're big, sure. I'm bigger
where it counts.

 

What do you think
you are? Unstoppable
invincible, a god,
a hero, some kind of fighter,
stronger than me
or faster?

 

Duster, I am
stone.

 

Everything you throw at me
I'll endure. You can kill
maybe
but I'll live. You can take
everything
but I won't miss it.
You can have the last word

 

I don't want it.

 

Silence
always remains.
Stone is silent and I am
stone.

 

You'll never win
sodding blighter, dirty
fighter, you nug-humping
son of a bronto:

 

I am Maynee Brosca
and you are just life.
