Older than the metal-fence
struggling to keep
her spirits contained
Heavier than the stone
bearing the epitaph
unashamed
Sent only to spend her brief time
on the verses she never intended
to see day's light
"Called back" long before she'd see
a fan born hundred years on
reeling under her spell
As if she were, now and here,
Not a moment claimed by time
between them
