Anklets

In the used-goods shop
I cut a deal for the anklets
To decorate the feet
I bought the other day.

Dancing
To some forgotten tune
And lost in fulfillment
They seem to be complete now.

In my thoughts
I try to sculpt her in vain
While she whispers
"Visit the used-goods store again".

The question hangs in the air. Why the lady said what she said. And you have some haunting images here. :)
