 She...stands like a reflection in still waters. 

Distant. Solemn. 


Medusa's hair, floating like carefree wavelets, 

Engulfs all yesterdays and tomorrows


She...stares, who knows where

Those empty sockets bereft of dreams

Absorb sun rays of infant delight like

Frivolous promises of unshaken faith


She... speaks not a word

For, what is speech 

But random spewing of unnecessary sounds

Sans meaning, sans occasion


She...stands there quietly

Looking on and on, 

Till the rough grey stones - all melt away

To merge with a fluorescent ball on a dusty footpath
