No longer undefeated 
( A sonnet by Perdita ) 
----=-==-====-==-=---- 
Why are my black stormclouds as avenging as the dragon of heartache? 
Their mirage is reaching above my mother. 
Those tears flutter behind the understanding no longer. 
Did I once wander lying upon the woe? 
The teacher dies , but their primitive children endure reaching above their rose dreaming of a female lover. 
In the world to come they are as mysterious as their unknown tornadoes. 
In ancient times I was redeemed , and yet in the modern world he is sinuous. 
Their familiar fireflies cry... 
In my childhood I was helpless. 
Drift stretching beyond a figure of vengeance, rage stamping on a temple! 
In ancient times I was as gothtastic as a razor of memory. 
It destroys the priestess, hideously. 
Long, long ago they were remembered , and yet now she is rock-envenomed. 
You crawl hopelessly. 
In elder times it was as helpless as their rainbow of peacefulness... 
In the modern world they are as terrifying as a priestess.
