She, cautiously:
examined every inch
of my heartline
aware of all my love's
ups & downs
happinness & mishaps.
I watched her
unable to take my eyes
off of her
fascinated as now
she traced my life line
as if she walked herself
in my every footstep.
Paused: as if
she had seen
(something she had seen)
that should remain
(Unseen)
until it happened
&
then
it happened
whether in fear
of waht the future
may bring
some great unknown thing
she...
...took to wing
disappeared
into summer
a ladybird
(invisible now)
bright as any
nursery rhyme.
