Elise Paschen - Birth Day

For Alexandra, born May 17, 1999


Armored in red, her voice commands
every corner. Bells gong on squares,
in steeples, answering the prayers.
Bright tulips crown the boulevards.

Pulled from the womb she imitates
that mythic kick from some god's head.
She roars, and we are conquered.
Her legs, set free, combat the air.

Naked warrior: she is our own.
Entire empires are overthrown.

I actually planned to discuss your phorum post is incredibly realistic. I opt to hear something totally new with this on account of I really provide the identical site within my United states during this matter so this specific help??s everyone plenty. I was able to a good look about the topic plus noticed a great a number of phorums but in contrast to that. Thank you for revealing so much inside www.americanpoems.com regards
