On the brink by Somyaa

On the brink...


... she searched as if she had been thirsty whole night
for a poem she could drink
she found out
soon enough
she is not a poet
nor was meant to be,
a witch ; 
she was not a martyr
nor a virgin,
again on a forgotten way
again on the brink...

she searched as if she had been thirsty whole night
for a poem she could drink...
