Heading West
Heading west
-she drives a Honda
- (a black C-R-V)
-music in her car
- not kind of, very loud
"This girl is on fire! "
I listen and listen and listen
"Nobody knows she is…
-lovely girl…
-she is just a girl…
-and she is on fire! "
Her window is open
-and her hand extended
-her elbow on frame
She holds a cigarette
-uses the index and mid-finger
-burning side is lowered
-to sky, the filter
And she thinks…
Light-blonde
-roots betray…
-dyed her hair
Pitch black on cooker
-burnt-roasted, red-brown
-her head pan, hair almond
Sha has a full round face
-her skin talks ginger
I wonder:
-Lebanese?
-Middle East?
-Hybrid of many?
