conqueror
Sarah Brower 1995 (New Jersey)
The power of your voice
took out lights in Georgia
chills down my spine
tickling bare toes
Though
I will face this lion
savage to beast
not leaving in shreds
I will become
the deserts Acacia
I shall not bend
I shall not break
No need to rise
for I have not fallen
pity not me,
but on you lion
King of the fireplace
