Betters

Distant yet close.
Surrounded by friends.
Working alone with sinister ends.
A fire-brand life
and a shock to the heart.
A lover of love and consumer of art.

Crying in coffee.
A bite of the Earth.
Savage and sterile in all of her worth.
A streak of existence.
The summit of age.
A shade of a woman defined by her rage.

It's good to know
ones betters.
