Samantha is
Samantha
Is my most beautiful, stolen poem
(Stolen the way storm-clouds steal
light – Who in the world
dark and stolen – Stand stones
in solemn circles
for the solstice-
stones from the god
of the drumbeat-
stones from the god
of the virgins)
What is most beautiful is stolen
Samantha is Samantha
