stilettos
Floor as cold as ice
That sound radiated through the hallway all day and all night.
It signaled a warning of something coming near.
Her presence became known widely.
They feared her,
Envied her,
Cursed her,
Praised her.
She lived up to the rumors they preached-
Intimidating,
Fearless,
Intelligent,
Beautiful beyond compare.
She was a dream and a nightmare embodied in one simple spirit.
But every thought and every word spoken of her
Were silenced by the echoing sound
Of her stilettos.
