Siena

It is not as if you shine
- you shine -
from where?
this dazzle different
this radiance, new
no, grown

Bold red hair now
down straight
half-covering
your huge blue eyes
alight with all
the life that awaits

that you await
sparkling
diamond
cut in the setting
of your self
your place
your incisive, bright, mind

adazzle
self named anew.

who will be the first to find you
and how will they not be blinded?
