today and everyday she is

featuring spirit by virtue

of her tether-less will

and her stark fineness

forged in the burned drift

of it all

today and everyday she is

learning, unlearning and relearning

how to love

recognizing it as her spirited home

today and everyday she is

drifting toward what is

and burning down what is not

her essential self

today and everyday she is

will-full

spirit-driven

and burning by virtue of the stark universe

as well, the intimacy of of another’s skin and self

against hers

today and everyday she is

more starkly alone

than she is together

today and everyday she is

only seeking the material, the feel, the will and spirit to fill the void, the vastness within her

leaves her untethered

fine

small

light

in all darkness
