ENIGMA
She was a quiet type
Of woman.
Sometimes
Drowsy as a summer bee.
Sometimes
Sharp as a mosquito.
Unknowable
As any sphinx enduring
In a desert
Calling up dark spells
Of old gods.
Glittering
With lies and magic.
Grate her bones.
Find her holding centuries
Within her ancient
Fingers.

Glad you liked the poem, Sharon. The best British Books happened in 1992 when I was still writing full time
but thank you! Love your posts on your photographs.

Thank you for your kind words Gwen. It’s a lucky thing you are working still writing otherwise we would never have met! Best to you.
