Thank You Card

punch out
five o'clock
still churning

morning corsets
with daytime boning
of never again same olds
and laced
with nighttime regrets

two beams of light
guide her
wind-borne by 2,974 spirits

to the sanctuary
of her dancing sisters
named

white light longing
violet desire
and
spectral delight

she is enshrined by their beauty
challenged by their authenticity
and bathed in a love unparalleled

she is tossed into the waves
and once again becomes a rocket to the moon
with her sisters by her side

the corset falls off

and she breathes again

she is home.
