Whatsername,
            after this, i do hope you tell me,
                   i still do not know.

                   She is a  w r a i t h;

                               her collarbones
                                   are evident
                                    against her

                                       pallid skin;

                                         just as the

                                          gentle sea

                                          breeze that

                                          is sending a

                                        slate-coloured
                                      s i l h o u e t t e
                                     up the  s t e e p

                                   slopes to skinny

                                 skeletons of trees.

    the minute past,

          she is  t h e r e;

                                   

    and the minute next,

          gone in  d e s p a i r.

                             { where has she gone? }
