THIS QUEEN
-
MATILDA
CALDERON
▬
She craved a presence beside her, solid.
Fingertips light at the nape of her neck and
a voice meeting hers in the dark. Someone
who would wait with an umbrella to walk her
home in the rain, and smile like sunshine
when he saw her coming. Who would dance
with her on her balcony, keep his promises and
know her secrets, and make a tiny world wherever
he was, with just her and his arms and his
whisper and her trust
