This is what we’ve come to expect from Maria: Exquisite craft, meticulous detail, enchanting metaphors, brilliant wordplay. All in bite-size pieces of poetic beauty. Thank you OP for printing this and to MG for having the courage to compose it.

Gorgeous extended metaphor. Too many amazing images to mention. Her book A Little Feral is oh so good as well
