The witching hour. I'm gathering my resistances, but, instead, send tiny armed forces across the floor. Winged horses and knights with their swords drawn. They are circling my bed as I chant the spells of protection. Soon, somehow, it will be morning. The queen looks back. She's literate so she quotes Archibald MacLeish: "What love does is to arm. It arms the worth of life in spite of life." Her smile is bittersweet.
About Me
- Naomi S
- A few things I know for sure. That revolving doors make me nervous. That, sometimes, it takes courage to do the simplest things. That the moment in a theatre before the stage lights come on is exquisite. That poetry is often "one short step to the good ground (May Swenson)." That I love swimming anywhere but especially in swimming pools.
