Marc B. Adin
Woman

It was within the word
which she lived.
Inside the word.
The word
delivered her
brought her
moved her
dismantled her
lifted her
dismissed her
pushed her
ennobled her
and set her free.

She loved the word.
Dreamt the word
carried the word
imagined the word
pulled the word
floated the word
twisted the word
betrayed the word
and finally
gave it herself.
