Adorn the Soul
by Anna
Eyes dart in my direction.
Twice, thrice.
My white cap and long dress
Flutter past their combat boots
And camouflaged hearts.
Who are you?
What are you?
Veiled from their view,
Is a land mine
Of intentions on display.
I wear badges
They dare not read.
Who are you?
What are you?
They begin to ask
The questions of
Themselves, hoping
This woman will hear
Their callous voices.
Who are you?
What are you?
Strip one uniform
And sew another.
Pin on ribbons
of a gentle spirit.
Adorn the soul.
