Tea swimming
through cracked lips,
a scowl. The smell of
sage mixed with burning
dust, her clothes creased
and decades old. Another sip
and groan, eyes trained
to look for the worst.

She claws her way out
of hell, Cerberus howling
breeze warms frigid air
Young buds stretch for blossoming
birds fluttering in the trees
