Nancy

She's light across tears, shares jokes in the dust, then disappears, we knew her from jail, a speaker for the just, love never fails, what brought her here, in the lilac dusk, no one's very clear, ice blue on the rails, travels till she's bust, she's tough as nails, no one can get near, a flame that never shuts, they know what to fear, cast aside parrot phrases, perfume echoes the dusk. her eyes ablaze, she haunts me like the deer, I did what I could, smiling she appears, a face misunderstood.
