And Her Very Name Was Song

by Nicola Bouchier


 

And her very name was song,

It would fill the room like an echo of forgotten summers.

Summers to which only she belonged.

 

And she would sing and she would write,

She would shake her long hair down.

She was locked in an eternal fight,

To determine who should wear the lyric crown.

 

She was wild and she was wanton,

neither right nor wrong,

She could turn men inside out.

And her very name was song.
