La Luchadora

La Luchadora
©2016 Susan Noyes Anderson

Her hair is dressed in roses:
a waved trellis,
verdant and visceral,
rooted in animus
(head-as-hostile-soil).

She likes the irony,
invokes contrast.
Her eyes speak thorns
quite fluently,
scalp blooming.

    I was thinking about too, something "strong" in her eyes.

    No small wonder the eyes are piercing! Vivid description Sue!
