Sara the princess


Sara, the princess, shut all doors
barring them with doubled bolt

and peered through the barricades
listening in silence for the shots

not one was heard
only the bumping of her heart
rolling from wall to wall

at that
she waited
then climbed
down the highest
wall of the castle

since then
it stands locked and lonely
on top of the hill
of the egg shell she'd broken

March 2000
