the masked avenger

always ready
it's not so much
what you've done

when you're poor
you don't travel
to far-flung places

you prepare.

but what you're ready for
what you're willing to humor
bones to hardwood
for my favorite music
dancing in the ungodly morning

ready to be troublesome
a hero-in-waiting
a mind broad and beautiful

my masked avenger
backpack full
my rumpled knight
my warmth
when winter comes
