[Poetry]

Southpaw

Woman, pale;
strong and noble bearing;
Mediterranean, and Jewish,
with long black hair,
and eyes like flames.

Dressed in black.
Pink and blue lights
awash across her face.
Composed, calm, and
yet, as she begins,
the look of pain,
and strength,
remain in balance,
unafraid.

Her 12 string, white,
played with her right,
though Southpaw
all the way.
She'll tell you it was
different then,
the resources not the same
those days;
-- and yet, she, -- this girl
can play!
