To the Bronte Sisters
To the Bronte sisters who were not pretty and all died young
you left the world behind after it abandoned you first tit for tat works so poorly wondering now if you all did needlework while you talked of plot hinges and character development
also if any of you knew what happened to your brother what trauma sent him over that particular edge
he fell off the earth and you all plunged after him
not a happy household but you clung together
all died young leaving worlds behind we know you you turned away from us
anyway thanks for all the books
