Sixty-one has stumbled through the fire In which all pain and heartbreak must be burned. X-rays show the bones beneath desire Thinned by what the days and years require Yet braced by what of glory she has learned. One moment beyond fear can life inspire. Needs fade as dreams of sovereignty retire, Even those for which she long has yearned.
