“WANT I want to hold Shelley with the force of an eagle taming the wind within its wings. I want to grasp him unfailingly, like a gentle moth dancing with flame. I want to have strength enough to beat off the beasts that dwell within his heart. I want to believe in impossible promises and shift the world so they can be kept. I want to be more than a girl selling books in a bankrupt shop.” — Lita Judge
WANT
I want to hold Shelley
with the force of an eagle
taming the wind within its wings.
I want to grasp him unfailingly,
like a gentle moth
dancing with flame.
I want to have strength enough
to beat off the beasts
that dwell within his heart.
I want to believe
in impossible promises
and shift the world
so they can be kept.
I want to be more
than a girl
selling books
in a bankrupt shop.
