something that lasts when all else goes

you hover
over my should
er drip
ping mint, mist
of after
noon cloud
ing win
dows, from
the rig
ht you seem
to be
no less lighter,
you seem
to me
water
proof, foul
in your
slickness,
set in
your mig
rations,
iridescent
at cert
ain angles,
a com
pany heroine,
aflight risk
ing all,
sweet-breathed
specter over
my should
er, wander
er.
