Sapphic Figments

by Botched Lobotomy

25.

Coming from the waves like Aphrodite on her shell,
throwing off
small worries
drops of water on your fur, sparkling diamond,
reflective and impervious.

On reflection—
they can’t see you.

a continuation of the window beneath the sea? a retelling of Rarity's arrival? love this beautiful description of her, but the "they can't see you" seems to be hinting at something. it resonates with the idea of most people not being able to see just what is there to be seen about this ivory cartoon horse that to us would so obviously completely capture the heart of Sappho.
