Purple Amidst the Storm

The lady standing in the street

with no umbrella

She had a purple eye

at least that's what the man said

Her hair looked to be dipped in ink

a gold band on her finger

She stared into the traffic

Still no one noticed her

at least that's what the man told me

The cars drove right by her

not lending her an eye as rain fell onto their windshields

She peered into the headlights

a slight smile present on her face

She looked content

at ease with the thunder

one with the lightning

She was dry

untouched by the weather

"I went up to her"

that's what the man told me

He stood inches a way from her

She didn't turn her head

as she slowly handed him a box

a purple box

and vanished

The man handed me the box

Within it was a circular disk

He called it a mirror

I too had a purple eye
