the woman
well, she looks old enough
to be called such a thing
shook her head
adjusted the hair stuck
to the lines of
her eyes.
she had one strand down
the forehead, like a
black scar splitting her apart
and the boy she was with,
well,
he just got in his car.
does he fall in love
with her black gold
when he sees her
or does he
not think about love
but just the subtle
canyons of her lips
