Pause

 
Long pause.
Words being spoken.
The words are meaningless.
So be it.
Let the words flow.
Pause again.


Lost eyes.
Scattered hair.
Disheveled shawl.
She is shattered.


She stays with me shadow by shadow.
Alas! The moment I turn, she flees in terror!
Goes a little distance, then immediately looks back!
Perhaps she thinks, who calls? Does anyone call?
