Her fountain of fire,

Fueled by a lake of anger.

Anger bred by years,

Stolen kisses on clenched red lips.


Hidden by lacy dresses,

Choking strands of white pearls.

Makeup layered on a foundation,

A foundation she will shake.


She brandishes her pen,

Spreading ink like her feathered wings.

With the wisdom that accompanies truth,

She will escape the bonds of her memories.
