Pay tribute
to her worn black boots
which she keeps filled with
tea bags, scented petals
roses, blueberry and some
cinnamon
Pay tribute
to her torn leather coat
too large for her small
shoulders, missing buttons
bundled up at the sleeves
frail hands
Pay tribute
to her new velvet dress
some say it's deep wine
red, she leans towards purple
nowadays her features are
sharper
Pay tribute
to the shine of silver
dragons flying everywhere
fire, brimstone and courage
testimony of the kindest
heart
