the woman with black veils
put some cotton in her eyes
now widowed
she wants to be blind
and dumb

she wants to be a mountain
hidden by a veil
of fog all around her

it is just looking down perhaps finding
your own way of taking the silence

your hands are empty still
slowly, you take the sorrows
sipping what sadness is left
in the air

i accelerated the car not wanting to see some more
of you
not wanting to see more of myself too
