Moth Girl
I come from nowhere
I have no recall of how I got into that phone box
all I know - Im on a mission and
I am the MothGirl !
in suit of tight black leather
my hourglass body covered with soft fur
I am not slim but I would call me shapely
my antennae unroll with a Ping
two feathers arching from my head
I smooth my soft dark fur and stretch my brand new wings
what pattern tapestry of browns and gold
the crumpled velvet is inflating and I watch in awe
I wonder what my SuperPowers
can I climb walls ? can I break bricks ?
see though stone with my big eyes ?
the ichor running though my veins
I have no backstory that I know of
Im sure I have one - it will come to me
but I am ready to GO
under Saturn on this night
the phone receiver hanging by its wire
I replace it gently
and listen in the bright night air
the wet and shiny streets
the thrill
the phone rings
my first Assignment !
I stroke the death's head tattooed on my chest
