And all is black

Black is not her colour in clothing,
unlike most of the world that fancies it.
But she's all black today.
Black salwar kameez.
Black bangles too.
She wishes to wear some kohl,
but damn she's four eyed.

She'll sit on the terrace tonight,
with bats flying nearby.
She's of the night.
She is the night.
The beautiful one.

Couldn't help echoing Kamila Shamsie.
