Words by Dagmar Morgan
tilted crown queen…the open door to a
cathedral…star-crossed love…a parasol
of prayer…
angel turned sparkler turned
open flame…the little engine that could
and did
and will…light-footed warrior…a praise
dance…lattice hands tangled
with grace…a safe bet
in an uncertain time…cliff jumper…
sometimes late to the party but
always dressed
for the occasion…woman of letters
turning words into a sword…
a bouquet offering…
a succession plan…the manifest destiny
of mercy…someone worth dying for.
