this woman sings no blues

this woman sings no blues
this woman has the news (that)
this woman NOW
is new(s)

this new(s) woman sings of red(s)
and even pink and inks no strains
of blue(s)

but stains a trail of stain
that washes her

back into herself

a song      (before)
unsung unsung
unsung

a song
this woman sings
unblued
