They both huddled in a damp building
with fading, light green walls
away from the inquisitive eyes of the world
They held hands and spoke earnestly
and the wall came closer to hear them
He whispered incoherent words into her ear
which she half-understood,
but the green wall blushed bright green
as it understood the meaning of the each word
and its deep implications
Was that wall a woman?
Next he made promises
and the wall went further green
This time with envy
The wall was probably a woman
She waited for him
The next day, the following day
and the whole week
He never came
She wept with sorrow,
no companion to share her grief
but the wall shared her misery,
crying with her,
till its faded green color
further lightened
Yes, the wall was definitely a woman
