Unified
Driven
Brilliant to boot
Serving
To insulate
From cold
From disdain
Scattering
To reflect
Reminding
Of light
Actual version of who I once knew
Free of the virtual grey
I’ll be the color-filled breath of true life
Looking for only you
I would watch this woman-girl
I noticed when it was that she looked helpless
She looked outward, upward maybe, but not on purpose
She’d settle then
Today, I saw her mocked
She saw it too, straight away
Who would do this, I wondered, she wondered
Hopeless-believers, we knew it was someone
Begging her to look inward
I would watch this woman
