silk

Devastating
If only I knew
Before now

Such a life
Adventure
And spirit
Swimming with orcas
In cold oceans
And dancing
In fires from driftwood

Her words were like
Silk against my
Pages
She flowed over prose
As the salt water
She brought back
And smiled

She too said I
Was beautiful and
Funny
And smart
Now

She is breast less
And withered
Poisoned from the
Poison to save her

Devastation

I am so sad
for her
