Something Scarce

Society of grey where life
is sustained, no misconceptions
in this paradise of the same. 

She was a drifter with a vague expression,
emitting an otherworldly streak,
the folk's anger was fear
but the crisis was mine.

I wish I could save you from the judgment.
Shield what makes her so foreign,
a gutless foil left to admire.
