18. Paean (Myshkin, 2020) · quatrains

(Friend) Dear Sarah, mistress of both time and space, She feels the sorrow of the entire race. At times she’ll think it’s all her own and brace And other times she’ll heal, with touch and grace. (Sarah) I also heal with smirks, to light the day. Eyes shine, nose crinkles, smile reveals my fae, With light and darkness I just want to play... You wouldn’t have it any other way.
