She was a careening case
of angry thread
like flame of fire
A soul-stipple of shadows
in Happy haunted shades
of sad sallow sunshine
Never fully full of love
that was not tinted
with underbelly of hate
Such soul -fine line
Her perfect pathos
wove terrible threads
in weft and weave
of funny mad miscues
of temporary tapestries
that fell apart
as quickly as shook her shuttle
She is shadow-self
creating her own blankets
to wrap herself in
when cruel winds
of her own making
whistle round her cracked edges.
