She Fought in Any Case

She Fought in Any Case

A girl once wove her dreams on high,
She parted words with ancient tongues,
Black slippers traced the ship-bound tide,
A virginal note in dawn’s embrace,

She fought in any case, with song and sigh,
Soft wisdom, rather cosmic, sung,
Yet gloom and the good beside—
A child made woman, a fleeting grace.

And thus in Nineveh she stood,
Then down she went into the sea,
Ship of sorrow, salt and foam,
An object lost, a love misplaced,

For days are not yet full enough of good
An immorality set free—
A wisdom soft, yet all alone.
To hold the ghosts hearts have chased.
