Beauty in Sad



Tireless hold on vintage weighing scale in left 
Possess a double edge sword in right hand
Ankle long gypsy pleated skirt
Blindfolded
Beauty in sad

Tell me how you balance the scale soft handed
where
rusty chain links lost flexibility
hang on deteriorating pair of pans...
Its double edge
but
necessarily not equal sharp
vary in quick, sluggish move around
why do expect a fair treat...
Guess the fabric worn
you see through pinholes of blindfold...

Dear beauty
for a while,
Take-off the blindfold
Leave scale aside
Hang ornamental sword...
Why not swinging the skirt,
shaking shoulders and tapping foot
performing a beautiful gypsy dance
to the music provided by background...
