This Is Just To Say

Summary:

Exactly what the title and tags suggest.

Notes:

The original, by William Carlos Williams:

This Is Just To Say

I'm sure someone must have done this before, but oh well, this is my version.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

I have eaten
the necklace
you were showing
the court

 

and which
you were going
to have analyzed
for poison

 

Forgive me
it was dangerous
so crunchy
and so incriminating

Notes:

I like the interpretation that Phoenix didn't actually eat the necklace, which I explored in A Bluff to Remember, but I think this works either way.
