she wasn't the black nor white
squares on a chess set
but rather
the folds that laid between

neither the day
nor the night,
she was the power
that fused their seams

not silence
nor sound
never lost
but never to be found

never did she belong to the land
or sea
but rather, a place
far beyond our reach

she was grasping smoke
bottling daylight
pinching sand

she wasn't an entity,
impossibly, she was just a girl
made by a man

a daughter of a daughter
a neighbor of a friend
unnoticeably notable
remaining, forever,
a loose end

maybe born of sea foam
decorated by analyzing eyes
she was forever a forgotten destination
forever an unwon prize.
