lady of lanterns
in your copper indigo
with the shimmer he has known
like a drunken god accidentally

I heard of your wounds
when you were the she wolf
and your gate was unstable
like an arrow through the trees

you bathed at my brim end
lapping new days into your panting
I was the gray water touch
the still place with eternal stones

you made beauty out of bow ties
and strung your maiden bead jewelry
you took me to a young man place
and we drank of the dark root liquor

I knew you then, jane doe balcom smythe III

The last line is the clincher.
Do we really ever know anyone?

Another beauty! How do you do it? Your muse is one mighty muse! She loves you madly, as she knows you listen so well.


Love,

You write lovely.  I bet she reads with a mask on a stick.
