She--By David Austin--United States

                  She 

                                 gray clouds
                                       and black crows
                    the way she looked clear through me
  
                                    penny
                    how she walked on tip toes
                                              mixed feelings

                              her long black hair
                           that wonderful aroma
                               all about the room
  
                           everything stopped
                                               that instant
                                      she smiled

                              bridge to nowhere
                                      we walked on
                                             nothing under our feet

                                     five foot six?
                                            maybe              but
                            standing on her toes      we bond
