Muffins

"Shh, shh."
Ruby whispered.
There were tears on her face.
She looked to the table.
On it, there was a case
Of the celebratory blueberry muffins
For the celebration
Of the capture
Of the witch.
Ruby extended her fingers out forward,
Facing toward
The pastries.
And muttered something
To herself.
"Soon, soon,"
She stretched out her fingers
Last time she tried this,
There had been a big boom,
Which sent some poor unfortunate soul
Straight to his doom.
"Away, away to a place you miss,"
"To somewhere you wish to be."
"And soon, soon you'll realize,"
"That you believe,"
"That this is now a reality."
Ruby straightened her back,
As the particles flew toward the sack
Of the cursed muffins.
They gathered like a swarm of bees,
And Ruby?
She sees that deputy, and the sheriff
Far away in the trees.
She suppresses a cackle
The muffin bag,
It crackles,
The celebratory muffins are cursed!
Blueberries, blueberries.
Her mind wanders.
What universe should they be sent to,
Perhaps one with fairies?
"The only things that will wander once those muffins are gone
Will be their minds
And at last this little con
Will be played,
And I will be out of my binds!"
She whispers to herself
And shrinks down in the cell.
Her anger
Is no longer present.
Relief floods in,
She watches
The bin
Of blueberry muffins.
Just one last
Treat
For them to
Eat.
