She smiles with only half her face
the stars eclipse the other side
she waits for morning
for the sun to revive
brighten her downcast eyes
eyes that mainly look away
hidden by the blackness of her hair
dew diamonds there as if
she has waited up all night
she smiles as she stares away
from others faces
yours and mine
yet I never knew her smile was in her tears
and in her voice and behind the eclipse of stars.
