Taper
Cherubs on her cheeks, she is innocence -
caught in the vortex of its own campaign
un-revealed; the flagrance of her flame snuffs
this flicker which elfin shadows retain.
Pallid protests in her plea - this reluctance
surges the bosom of secrets that she holds;
and the wrinkled contour of a petal's bluff
un-caressed, then to a mystic light unfolds.
