Jane Austen would tell you that you don't get to pick
what your heroine is wearing while she is rescuing you
Do not concern yourself with the flow of her hair
or the shade of her complexion
Concern yourself with what that woman does
how she shelters you when others would leave
Concern yourself with her kindness and warmth
with her presence in every moment
Have no eyes for the looks of others
or give a moment to what they might think
Of a woman, soft
who carries a sword
But praise her
and keep her just as she's kept you
