7 ~ demon palms

They chased me around and everywhere

Inside, outside, from afar and very near

I told them to leave when they'd play their fare

A platter served cold for a young'un to fear

Powerless I read their palms to understand

Because all that I said was but nail for a tooth

So I taunted and pointed each finger on my hand

If only I had known what I'd finally loose
