She Walks On

She Walks On

Smashed paper,
and tossed water,
seeping down from the window sill,
dripping on the red/
white,
canvas oning below.

Dress lifted,
blue daisies/red stripes,
high legs,
higher waist,
eyes lifted,
among other things.

Man weezing,
hand to chest,
red face/white face,
and the damp water,
turning blue jeans,
navy.

Run,
scatter,
brown to
many colours,
a flourish around
the white/blue man.

Blue daisies,
fly away,

distracted,
bemused,
her blue/red dress,
so much better than his pale.
