Great aunt loved Valentino
The Sheik.
She wanted to die
when he died
wept for days
with her scrapbook of memorabilia
cradled in her arms
and swore to be true forever.
She married two years later.
Lived the rest of her life
in shacks
in mining towns
and raised eight children.
She went for long walks
across the red dunes
like Valentino did
on his white steed
seeking escape.
