neither star nor nobility
neither adversary or confidante
rather the headwaters’ baby
left footprints in lava
that resiient runt
dumped at the trunk of manchineel
born of blood and instinct
pink parachutes of cashmere
indomitable and likkle bit
owns mantle of thistle
lifts and lowers
this hallowed espionage
