A Wish for a Plot Rewrite
What do I wish?
I wish for the plot
to be rewritten so that
it has a happy ending.
But I do not hold the stylus
or clutch the chisel.
I am the female lead
destined to live the story
and its tragic arc
just the way it was scratched
on cosmic paper and
etched in stone long
before I knew him.

I love the idea of this piece, especially the line “clutch the chisel”
Love the title and “clutch the chisel.” and the truth in “etched in stone long/before I knew him.”
sigh. very moving.
