A New Pride
Lady Headlamp Sees Joe, the Lionhorse
A New Pride
I spot you and imagine . . .
Two flickering lions.
One with hooves
One with wings
Glitching but growing
Tangled manes reflect light.
Their own gold startling them
Quickening breath.
Terrified.
But unmistakably brave. Hearted.
The sun is hard on our golden backs
Light is hard.
But with you, I sense
What's hard is light.
My flicker
Glitching but growing.
You're a lionhorse.
You run and stand your ground
Shaking your head in the wind
It feels so good
In the strands of your mane
I am a lioness
And a bird
Mighty roar
And flutter
Tangled manes reflect the light
Glitching but growing
Stand your ground,
But fly
With me
Shaking our heads in the wind
And stirring dust
I see a new pride
About the Creator
Lady Headlamp
Tornadoes learn how to spin from Mother Wind
Nobody knows how the lady learned to spin.
She spins so hard, so gracefully, her colors swirl.
One day, a headlamp broke through the skin on her forehead
throwing her off balance - or so she thought.
