She Needs Him

              She needs him                like the flute needs air               the right amount                 to flow between               lips pressed                in anticipation of music.               In that music               she will find her childhood               lost virginity               to a man she can’t stand               words of a song               she used to sing               to a lover               she doesn't love anymore                afterwards                she will carry him back                like an old boat,                a man from the sea,                and one by one                she will drop the flowers                for long she has worn                on her raven hair.    - Proma
