hoopla harrumphing
American Civil War statues,

excited curiosity possibly twill incite
dangerous extraneous, mutinous,
treasonous tit for tat

promulgation exhuming ghosts

Flashes of thoughts,

Perudes her mind,

As she regrets

The things she had done,

In her earlier years

With outbursts of emotion,

She bursts into tears....


The heart of a woman,
