8/20/08_1986_WaterColor1_Poem by Betina Hershey RussoI am ready!
My helmet is as bold
As I plan to be, a blazing red Mohawk
Slicing through the sky.
Oh, I shall slice the day!
And the newest light blue metal
Encasing my soft, weak flesh.
Yes, I shall encase
Anyone who comes upon me.
And see how the armor around my neck fans out,
Ready to deflect any sudden arrows.
Yes, I shall love the ping, ping sound
As I deflect!
And do you hear that far-away howling?
My demons!
I have shuttled my demons
Into the lake and they clamor there,
Flailing and wailing, eager to follow.
Oh yes, let them flail! Let them wail!
I have my blue sword.
My eyes are busy with the two suns
Upon the horizon.
I am ready!
