Maria's Special Moments
When she was sixteen
she found out that
the beginning, at the end,
is caught In the middle
and turning thirty-two
she already knew that
no matter how
you guard Thermopylae,
Thermopylae
will, always, escape you

I like how succinct this is. It's an enjoyable read that highlights those moments of revelation perfectly.

you are so erudite in verse:
so brief and tight and well rehearsed,
like Leonidas and his men,
who relied on the Thespian
And, if at 32 I'm calmer
Than at 16, life's still drama.

Thank you!
Very kind and generous of you, Sweet O.
High praise, indeed, coming from you
and, most probably, undeserved...
