She had a Frida Kahlo look,
an honest beauty,
and too much innocence for anyone with half a history.
With streaks of ore in her tangled hair,
and gold paint brush flicks in the geography of her eyes,
She was a miner's delight, Oro Fino.
There is nothing more attractive than a hardworking man,
except when they resemble hoarding dragons.
Their fiery passions, searing.
There is nothing more tragic than asphyxiation,
either from the dense, smoky fumes
or in the hands of a thick-lipped Moor.
