She is.

She's b e a u t i f u l,
illustrative strings of librettos waltz on starched paper
from underneath chapped lips and ink-stained fingertips
she passes time counting the caress of the second hand
eyes as empty as the broken glass-face.

a name is sighed,
and suddenly mud-dull eyes become burnt sienna:
love, fire, flames of desire sear at her irises
melt a hole in her icy walls and suddenly,
Pièce de Résistance is rekindled.

i stare at her script,
and i become green-eyed
[ she is everything i'm not and everything i wanted to be ]


* Dedicated to Juniper, my dear friend.

    i could never write anything like this for you, ever. can't even capture a small fraction of what you just did in this piece. but i'm going to be a fool and try anyway.
