The Girl I Call Alma

The girl I call Alma who is so white
is good, isn't she?
Even though she does not speak,
you can tell by her distress
that she is just like the breach
and the sea, isn't she?

And the white curtain,
and the secret smile
are just her way with lies,
aren't they?
And the we are not alone, ever.
And that everything is backwards

And that inside the no is the yes.
Isn't it?
Isn't it?
