Its simply a cloak.
As many forms as it can take. In time the duality of conflicting ideals surges the possibilities for her to transform.
Protection or Aesthetic
Burdened with tenacious tedious routines only for liberation of expression.
Enticed with the invention of blending, the rest of the world still questions
The hybrid she creates, only she must/can embrace.
She understands her position inside and out of her inhabited shell.
It’s obsolete.
She embodies the black vacuum.
Only to present the spearing light of her grace.
