Ghosts flicker behind her eyelids Like dust falling upon grass A faint buzzing; an irritant ever persistent In the shadowed blink of her eyes
Phantoms mist past her lips Like Air curling in step to waltz An echo of broken promises; reckonings foretold In the upturned tilt of her smile
Spirits swim through her fingers Like water sprinting rapids down mountains A mocking tale of trickery and revenge bound In the feverish flight of her palm.
Apparitions dance through her hair Like fire twisting embers to the sky A vision to escape; hope burning for freedom In the wild tresses of her chestnut mane
