SHE

 

She came to me

Laughed and ran away

Far in the corner went

And cried bitterly in hide.

***

Traffic did not stop

I stopped to see

I stopped to feel

Her pain and her joy.

***

I moved to her

She stepped back

I ran

She ran faster than me

I stopped

She stopped too.

***

The strong piercing cold wind

Blew now and then

She covered her face

And her body but

No use

She got pierced from all sides.

***

I left my jacket

And packet of bun and sauce

Down on the street

Which dogs saw.

***

I left, walked ten steps

Looked back at her

Cheerful face and

The happy stomach

And strong steps.
