What I Want

I want a girl with a capacity for empathy and abstraction
I want a girl with rosy cheeks
I want her next to a fruit basket
I want her in layers, in shades of sunset:
A pale tint of orange, amber, pumpkin, tomato, tea rose
I want her to be peeling a banana, slowly
I want her on a hammock, playing the banana strings
Hairs dancing to the rhythm of the afternoon breeze
I don't want her to look at me and smile
I want her oblivious of space and time
I want her next to the palm trees
I want her in the background of deep blue seas
I want her displaced, but I want her at ease!
