Human, Being

Residuals on shattered wishes
Fall from her eyes
As the truths of statesman
Fall for the prize.
She's paid her debt to dreams,
To sieved promises,
Which scattered from her hands
Like children in hide-and-seek:
Only hers are not ot be found.....
Tired and worn-out
From keeping Pollyanna appearances,
She decides to obliterate
Her antique melancholy,
Conjuring from within defucnt ardor
A singel, momentary smile....
In a rush-- wildfire!
Gone was this guardian
Made of fossil and brimstone
Who stoked the embers of desolation....
In its stead, there stood She:
This woman of Steel,
This lady of Satin,
This body of Anger and Elation....
Human, being.
