She is caught
In her red triangular
Sad face of wish,
Reaching beyond,
The shoes
And the wishful

Stockings, watches, handbags
Outside the woman red
Where the green says
It is alright, buy it.
How she dives one way
And the other way.

How necessity keeps her on her toes.
Children as ghosts.
How all this is caught
Inside her head,
A thin layer of white
Covering this up.
