Capture the light right, she said
  demanded almost and lifted her head
    full of wool and hair
      closed her eyes to look right into the sun
        letting herself go;

There was a melody upon her lips
  I kissed it away;

She smiled at me
  still dreaming herself back into a time
    when there wasn’t any memory;

Her melody tasted salty
  the essence of life
    in bluish drops of water
      and orange beams of light.
