Lustravit lampade terras—She illuminated the lands with her lamp —Virgil’s Aeneid

Carrying kindness, 
a type of light she breathes
out, misting the world
and its myriad creations
including badger, shrew, 
and tenrec   no matter
if their skins are green, 
brown, cream—impartial 
radiance manifests in all

bask, soak, drink this in
it’s ours, it’s free
