She smells of rain, Elven, and speaks of grass
She walks by time, sublime, and smiles innocuous
The never or not, the overshot, the sight of green
Of red or blue, long overdue, blessed unseen.
Is the gift of Rome, monochrome, the trust of wood
In starry nights, fireflies, misunderstood
I think of haste, summertaste, or the blood of blind
Well whatever, yeah, whatever, nevermind.
