H-E-R

She knew the truth,
But smuggled it,
Underneath her weary cloak,
A thousand holes,
Peaking,
through

Worthy, is she?
Accomplished, a wise woman,
Exclaiming her wisdom,
Her shadows are hiding,
Through the murk of her foggy mind,
The silhouettes swims,
Her scars sing,

Wonderful her energy squeals,
Witness me!
Gallant her spirit,
Honor me!

Her voice, flaccid,
Life, resilient,
Silence, exuberant,
Strength, transcendent,

Fire, it roars,
Burns the whole,

H-E-R
