Vanguard

Their hardened hands 

 that shape in sweltering 

  embers, and fashion in strikes set ablaze

decant igneous work which cascades from her lucent crucible 

like words she gilds in her impassioned cadence

as staggering and formidable

as her incisive wit

to a deluge of sparks
to a luminous immersion
I'm enthralled, pierced with affection and quickly

contemplating peculiarities

that delighted, charmed 
and bewitched
beguiled and
ensnares
as she 

dashes
ingots
against
anvils 
and casts 

her alloy fingers down my back

as if tracing the burnished contours of

her argent smile she's soldered to my memories.

 

 

I am forever fascinated by their eminence
One who solves puzzles of volcanic stardust into beauty
