Bellis named for the daisy; the hero of
four worlds; she whose armor of glowing
filaments' colors changing as shadows;
her billowing swords & shields invisible
in the night & by day speeding to the
source of the killing wound; Bellis
Perennis & her women who are all
but tattoos & bones, killing machines of
endless ectoplasmic energy not alive not
but death itself; Bellis sits alone upon
her throne of stone worshiped from a far
distance for fear of the star's dark visage
