a face is not a fact
but it stands trial
a tone is not a transcript
but it becomes record
confidence performs competence
emotion frames reason
reason performs obedience
and we clap

22 months ago, she died
I couldn’t stand to live without her

off target, on tangent
looking for direction, locating diversions

Woman, precautious but ferocious
Step back, step up, step aside, watch out

Woman – fearless – red lace – peers through a closed window
What – challenges – can’t she face?

🆈🅾🆄 know she’s an open book
You said she’s beautiful, you’re nice
