I Am “Midnight Magic”
By Sarah Wagner
I am curious and a servant.
I wonder why Prince Lorenzo acted like the kitchen boy.
I hear rain thumping on the roof.
I see soldiers trotting toward me.
I want Scarazoni to be executed.
I am curious and a servant.
I pretend to be Prince Lorenzo’s ghost.
I feel scared because Princess Teresina keeps creeping up on me.
I touch the cold,,wet,dark floors below me.
I worry Scarazoni will catch up to our plot.
I cry that Mangus is getting old and will die.
I am curious and a servant.
I understand Prince Lorenzo didn’t get murdered.
I say I am a great magician.
I dream to be Mangus’s servant forever.
I try to be Prince Lorenzo’s ghost.
I hope that the king doesn’t find out the ghost is not real.
I am curious and a servant.
