Mazhun Idris
SHE OR HER
I could not know her name.
Yet I feel it in my eyes,
When I think of her careless beauty,
That was beneath a lucid look.
She was soul-moistening and sedate.
She struck sadly-pleasing jiggles in my heart.
Did you hear her voice?
She stuffily whistles,
With an O-mouth and a V-tongue.
She rifted my vacuum,
With a weightless air,
That reduced my breath,
Until I see her again.
