47?

47?

“What?”
she squints her smile
through rain perfect eyes

Lips
slightly parted
create much
want

Her hair saturated with light
leaves the rest of the room
dark

“Whaaat?”
coy but unrehearsed-

her head tilts
just so

There is no response
to “what?”
No comeback with patent
repartee'

Well over my head
and my calm, cool
cracks-

napkin falls
to the floor
with my
soul

47 years on this planet
and I still know
less than
nothing

Hi CG,
Long time not type. I found this little poetic vignette to be superb. Glad to see you again. :hello:

She was so, so beautiful.
