malapert

arms akimbo in superhero stance
nose upturned, eyes defiant
feet planted like the roots of
a thousand year oak
this malapert mini mahatma stands
betwixt the world and darkness
her cape ethereal, her hair a tangle
the smudge of dirt across her cheek
the badge she wears telling ne'er-do-wells
BEWARE
