people see smoldering flames
crawling up her veins
and think of empires collapsing into ash,
people watch her eyes spark
and feel her calloused electricity
and they convince themselves of her power
she broods and she intimidates
and they think she is strong
and they think she is dangerous
and they are afraid of her fire
even though the only thing she tries to destroy
is herself.
