You know I admire the fireblossom anti-hero, and here she is at her most desirable: clever, nonchalantly cynical and accessible. Those last lines are killer and raised a level of poem envy in me I have not known in some time.

This is a poem that is layered like a drawer full of winter sweaters, by favorite color, not size or weight--all of it is exceptional, but the line 'I got rid of my slave name' really sings for me. hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-26218209996982976612015-11-06T13:04:21.843-05:002015-11-06T13:04:21.843-05:00OH!
