these tears
are not the tears
         of a distant
 
                 woman,
 
but of one bent
       on becoming
UP CLOSE
      she laughs like
   a trickle
      not a
      dribble as she
      attempts to
      reconcile my fate
and the passion
        of her
          dreams.
don't take her so seriously
   I know
     what
         she is meaning
                to mean
     without asking
I only want
       your
attention.
