She has those Scandinavian
blue eyes framed by a universe

of raven black hair.
she has that back-straight dancer's

walk that says
I'm heads taller than everyone.

she has that figure that makes men
nudge each other when walking

behind her, then stop when she
turns. just stop. and look.

she has that feeling of a woman who
knows she's the safest girl in

the world. *my man can stop the
planet's turning. can keep the sun

from rising. for
me.
