Hera and Ares

__________Echoes of faces lost in time

baffled and kind
attenuated, spread
atom-thin across

__________years.

Have you met the young sergeant?
Detective before long.
Mark my word.

__________Tears

he cried as a red-haired child
at the side of a dirt-brown
wound shame him yet:

__________men's

frailties women
know to shelter, whereas I
have been Loki, better

__________than

most at tending the fuchsia
the maidenhair fern
but am merciless

__________when

_____thorns draw blood, black-red.
