Wild Gypsy Woman

She grasps feathers from air

and weaves them into life.

Spirit exhales nomadic echo

like a thousand birds on a wire

taking shameless flight at her will.

Wild gypsy woman whizzes past

unforeseen curves in the road,

speeding so fast, leaving only

remnants of her shadow.

Tucks sun in her bosom

to light life’s adventures,

sets the moon askance

on head as mock halo.

Quaffs freedom

in the cup of her hand,

running barefoot

untamed and wild.

Dances in wild abandon

in raindrops of passion

answering only to herself

as she rounds

the endless loops

of tomorrow,

feral and free.
