her

she had a glistening curious eye
yearning to see magic.
her barren feet dusty enough
showed that she grew from
this ground.
was rolling a long thread round 
a string in patterns possible
and suddenly noticed me noticing.
i was out of the library on
the mud with earphones high,
my eyes resisting to turn away
from her as my mind was silenced.
she gave me a smile gentle enough
for me to smile back, walked away
with something in her mind.
i couldn't help it but my mind
kept flashing every colour of
human race which is
dimming her life.
