Valerie

So sharp between the ears, shares jokes in the dust, then the light appears, we knew her on the rails, a speaker for the just, one whose love never fails, what brought her here, in the lilac dusk, no one is very clear, a blue note in her sails, travels till she's bust, she's as hard as nails, yet everyone comes near, a flame that never shuts, they know not to fear, she abhors empty phrases, perfume is for schmuks, truth sets the eyes ablaze, she's careful as the deer, gives everyone her trust, to assist is her career, a manner understood.
