Confetti

Redemption

She stood on the pavement
in low-slung jeans
wearing a large square
fashionable wristwatch.

Composed, in no hurry,
she watched the unruly traffic
in a scruffy neighbourhood
she was comfortable with.

How does a
fashion plate
flower in
a humble setting?

It is a mystery
which redeems
a cruel,
unjust world.
