heroine
~
her hair
is a stroke of pink
on the brown audience
~
more compelling
than the script
or the decorated stage
~
not surprising to see
her name on the program
Rose
~
in black but for the hair
even her lips
implore the audience
to pardon the difference
~
she, the heroic one
not Romeo
or Juliet
~
not the dead
but the left-behind
~

All my best.
Staying safe,
Jane
