\nRuled out downy-swan-feathered (& occasionally a little bloody.)
\nNot Victoriana fae, the era that forgot fairies are toothed beings.<\/p>\n
\nIridescent in moonlight & slightly dangerous,
\nFlickering, almost-ready to catch fire.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019d stroke that lightness,
\nstoke that incendiary potential.<\/p>\n
