FOR HER WHEREVER SHE MAY BE
-
NONILON V. QUEANO
The way she laughs and teases you is
essential beauty
Like of a child’s giggling or of an angel’s
hug,
A shower of daisies, poinsettias, wild
roses,
A lay spinning in the head to early dawn,
And yet I wouldn’t know, how could I guess
The way she tilts her head compels you to
near fall,
Some virtual play of ring-a-ring o’ roses
Perhaps a tightrope walk, or grand trapeze
Or simply her gliding about in arabesque
Ah, but how would I know, how could I ever
guess
The way she winds around you is essential
grip
Lightly, a zephyr playing or some piece of
wind
And her fair arm as she breathes down your
face
Entwining, caressing, holding you in thrall
The way a gust blows quietly before a
squall
And all I can surmise is that there is a
girl
Somewhere who flits around and flies and
soars
The way of skies and seas, flowers, the sun
and moon,
I know, though I set out to go and drift
away
Still I’ll keep dreaming of her sometime,
somewhere
