When she smiles like this
it looks like le roi soleil
when she cries comme ҫa
it could be a mid-winter tale
While you're looking for essence
an unconscious collective
a region's familiarity, you sigh
how to catch her in words
When worlds could be that apart
like el alpha from la zeta
and the circumflex of her left eye
is just a little plus haute-marne
Than her punctuating point of view
so, now you can tell wordy-wise.
