Sugar slicked via toxic lips
One hot breath, enough to transform into putty
To you, nothing but an exercise, a flex, performed with aplomb
How easy in your palm, to turn flesh and blood to origami
Sharpened edges, clean and pressed, in the shape that you ordained
A perfect sculpture, but nothing more, surely this can't be fair
Fragile and manicured, under constant threat from way on high,
Painstakingly formed into your flawless bird and told to never fly.

For Poppy's Prompt #8, using all 5 words, (Sugar, Origami, Palm, Fair and Fly.)
