he read
somewhere
her name
means warrior
tough
indeed
fierce
in fact
five feet
"tall"
protesting
a picket line
because she hates the hate
they love so much
stronger than him
she never lets him feel that
she knows
he doubts himself
she tries to doubt
herself
but can't
really
she is too busy
trying to make the world
alright
he too is busy
making it all wrong
but she never loses
touch her
savant memory
hearing her living
in the echoes
her laughter
medicine
for the deepest
wound
she falls around sunset
to rest in
dreams
of the next battle
