Her name is Lillia, and I think                I love her. Her name is Lillia and    I think I love her and she smells like              caramelized marshmallows with Honey                                                                            Crisp apples.                               Or was it Braeburn?     She smells like Anjou pears and one            day old rose petals (Scentimental, I think             they’re called). Her soul would put feathers                                                 to shame with its lightness. When                        she says my name I hear the crystal echo         of wolves among the cliffs, and the ******   of fluted champagne glasses swirling                               merry contents. Her waist                                    is like an hourglass where time                           melts away in a daring drip of                    not-quite-a-solid-but-is-sand-a-liquid-no-it’s-not.              Her name is Lillia and I don’t quite                                       remember how I met her but it’s okay              because I’m here and she’s here and                                                                      the end justifies the means, right? Her name is Lillia and I want her                     to stay with me until all of the stars     in this starry night become hers. Her name                         is Lillia, and I am too transfixed by her         hair swaying in the breeze to notice                             that she has already walked                 farther away than I could ever follow.

Transcendence of a Solitary Goddess
