through her catastrophic eyelashes,
only to find him
staring just as feverishly.
"what's all that?"
she points questioningly
at his equipment.
he did not know what to say.
"perhaps i could paint you?"
"why?"
"because you're beautiful,
and remind me of the far-flung universe.
the moon and stars
dim in comparison,
as i only want to admire you.
i am to paint you because
you
are
exquisite."
she too, was now speechless,
as the boy breathed heavily before her.
all she could do was nod,
as no one had ever said
such superlative words to her.
