As though she’d never live again
He showed her the light in darkness . . .

Swinging in hammock,
Living Heena's ecstasy
Rejoicing horses walk.
Her life filled with colors
But Maroon her dearest,
Tint on his beloved coat . . .

Seeping into my house
Grim deeds stain behind blotted lights
Trembling, I count the days of my lifetime
As key turns lock, my heart is stopped . . .

Where did she work, why did he die?
Pausing over provenance, age . . .
