It is too late to hide HER
standing naked
legs planted wide
palms OPEN to the sky.
She arrived here
riding a wild wave
myriad colored shells
dripping from her wind lashed hair.
Some broken
some whole
all borne of a LIFE
flexing inward.
The tide receding
to reveal HER
tasting the panoply
of juicy bits.
SHE living amongst shadows
all this time and more
her artistic resonance
buried deep.
Part narcissistic nemesis?
Part pleasure goddess?
Why now? Why HER?

Brazen,exhilarated,volcanic
HIGH on words
she who is GREEDY, rapacious

she who is GREEDY, rapacious
or...is she?
