she walks at trouble with her Jugular bared
Into fire because she likes the heat,
the way the flames play and flirt
with her fingers and her bones.
lips tilted around a cigarette
drags in the poisonous kiss
of a ***** cloud,
upturning her palms to strangers
to give them her hands and her ways.
That girl is Brave
diving off every cliff
and caressing the rocks
as she floats down
harmlessly to rest
upon the filmy waves.
but when her little soul
becomes golden at the edges
I hope for her that a hand
will catch her balloon string
and guide her back to earth.
