the pale girl in the shade

the pale girl

is more interesting,

the white

of her,

the calmness

of her nature.

unworried

by what she needs

or doesn't need.

there she is in the shade,

never wasting a moment

of her life

lying in the sun

with her eyes closed,

her body oiled,

there is so

much more to do,

to read,

she has so much more

to offer when

she asks you to sit,

come here and sit

in the shade with me.
