She is unreasonable today
She doesn't want to grudge
Even half a smile
She doesn't want to talk
Or pretend to listen
She is far away
To the place she crawls back to
Where we have always wanted to peek into
She doesn't want to wear red, pink, orange
Only black, only white, maybe drab gray
She wants to go to a less familiar place
Not where we can watch her steps
Or bump into her in corners and pillars
And linger our hungry eyes on her
On her strangeness
She wants to buy white lilies
And place them on a forgotten grave.
She doesn't want to grudge
Even half a smile
She doesn't want to talk
Or pretend to listen
She is far away
To the place she crawls back to
Where we have always wanted to peek into
She doesn't want to wear red, pink, orange
Only black, only white, maybe drab gray
She wants to go to a less familiar place
Not where we can watch her steps
Or bump into her in corners and pillars
And linger our hungry eyes on her
On her strangeness
She wants to buy white lilies
And place them on a forgotten grave.
