Lona

Blonde fury, vixen of conceit,
in the midst of filth, you 
played house. Acting out 
a glamourous life filled 
with ribbons and lace. 
Every day was your adventure, 
everyone, your admirers. 
We watched you ride horses 
through the verdant hills as 
if it were your own parade. 
Boys were in awe of you; 
girls were curious with envy. 
The tales you spun were 
long and shiny, like the
hair you brushed obsessively. 
Did you leave the forest behind? 
Or did you take my pink room 
and make it your own?
