My Story by Karina llergo (used with permission)

Books become her.
One flutters from her
hand holding a rose,
one wraps ’round
her neck as angel wings,
and one, unfinished,
receives watercolor
elixir–droplets from
her essence. A powerful
beauty, she creates
a tree, same hue as
her rose. Her body
brings life to the
needy in her own way.
Bits of her are chipping
away. Who is watching
out for her?

I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    What a question to end with – may she always be watched over with tenderness and care..just as she watches
