Tendering the question (Free verse) by Nanshe
Her skin has a motile pigment;
my thoughts resolve more than the sun
on her, on her endless carryings-on.
You have been warned,
and warmed, friend.
Miles away, youâll drink your courage
clear, radiant, with an accent
on judgement. And Paris
will seem so close,
but she left that riverbank
long before I knew she was right.
She won't believe me, anymore,
but she may listen to you.
Especially if you kiss her on
the forehead, and stroke her hair
as she slips away.
I am waiting for you
to tell me what the question was, then.
You can ask anything of me,
without fear of judgement
or an answer.
