Faithful beauty…

Fidellisima Catticomposia is a child of Paradise.

She dines on nightshade,
hides within the Caribbean seaside roses.

Brilliant red faux setae, with flickers of black, call even among tropical flowers.

She walks the tangle of vines along the Havana shoreline…

Staring at the clouds drifting above sliding waves.

Innocence kindles the hope in her heart for the day that she will ascend - return - to the sky.
