Poems - silhouette

silhouette

by delapruch

when she entered the room
though the noise blacked out
the sound of the door closing
behind her,
her shadow washed over
like maple sugar candy
dissolving on the tongue
warm within the mouth &
cups of coffee in hand
met the café tables simultaneously
with the pausing or
complete cessation of
conversations that had been
going on---
men, teenage boys, teenage
girls & women
all eyed her up & down,
less because of her beauty
which was shocking in itself
(but we’ve all seen beauty &
beauty becomes defined by
the insistence of the airbrusher
or the graphic designer
anyway),
but more because of the way
in which she presented herself
with every gesture demanding
the attention of the room
without a word, without a
slinky outfit, without a sound,
without the need to be liked
tattooed on her forehead,
rather she walked with the
allure of being interesting---
a quality which few
genuinely possess & one
which may take a lifetime
to realistically accrue.
