“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” -Virginia Wolf
Cascading in fluent language as such
were phrases of wisdom; and wordings
lost in-between solidarity’s repetition
became another form of wiles towards self
preservation
Modesty acknowledged something unknown
yet true…
Plaster moldings of art enamored tidings
of seductive art~
And nothing more pliant remained true
to form of its former self
From ivory to bronzed hues, notes
raised on high, nothing like home saw
mere glimpses of self; but paraphrased
slang of her vowed in secret promises beyond
treasured life being reborn once again…
Leaving times gone by the shells of
significant tenures underneath traits
of home
