Smell of Incense

She stood as still as the shadows of stones
 She stood on the edge of my mind
 I tried to push her away
 I shut and locked the door
 Her eyes grew large and asking
 And the smell of incense filled the room
 She stood in the ever present fullness
 of expectations
 What happened to her childhood dreams?
 The sidewalk smothers us tomorrow
 And the smell of incense filled the room
 She stood as still as the shadows of stones
 She stood on the edge of my mind
 I tried to push her away
 I shut and locked the door
 Her eyes grew large and asking
 And the smell of incense filled the room
 And the smell of incense filled the room
 And the smell of incense filled the room
 And the smell of incense filled the room...
