Lint

You'll find her up a steep game trail
strewn with slippery stones
marbled with metal
lightning all around
yellow eyes amidst the brambles.

At the end-you'll find a mind of flint.
And a heart that strikes the match.

Anthony~ I never understand why all of us fear lust? I don't think it ever killed anyone. Was thinking of the mother of 5 who is missing. Don't think she was lusting, do you? It's OK to be married and have sex, Only? Sometimes both sexes are plain horny and want nothing else, am I wrong? Panagiota.
