Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
37. Amano Nene
She was a face
which told far more
than it revealed
And too less
to think she told the truth
in full.
But that also meant that none
could see the tears behind
that crystal mask she donned
nor the coal she bore
But once she's cast that coal down
to catch alight
she's bared for all to see:
Her strength, her will…
and a desperation once wild
now tender sparking ash.
