SHE WALKED BY ME

She walked by me
trailing whisps of clouds
The fringes of her dress damp with sunlight
She had birds feet holding her hair
away from her face.
Fragile wings hung from her ears
Their fluttering gives her headaches every now and then
She carries a weather forecast in a bag which hangs from her shoulder
She misplaces it a lot, to our misfortune.
She has a lover.
All the dreamy ones do these days.
Treats her mean but that keeps her keen I guess
He stuffs his pipes with the things
which help shape humans dreams.
Sometimes he relents and smokes cigarettes instead
Exhaling while admiring her countenance
The smoke entwines with her dress
till you can't tell where one ends and one starts.
And we silly humans always look
upon it as a beautous thing of art.
