Ode to Elsa
December 4, 2019
mountaintops of swirling snow, two feet in a universe
past in the past-- Let It Go.
perfect girl gone.
goodbye weak and soft, quiet, waiting, perfect-seeking.
now I am festive and sparkles, edgy and fast sprint, jumping and power and
feet, legs, arms. muscles, lungs, wings.
hair and eyelashes.
Beautiful, Brave.
Elsa-- confident, independent, let
down her guard to her weaknesses
cold doesn’t bother her. beauty of ice, leaping to the air.
tough skin and moving legs,
Elsa. different from the damsels in distress--
sets herself Free.
