This is about

M.

M presed her nose against
the uncovered window.
Breathing on the window
she found she could
cover-up the world outside.
Everything became
completely formless.
This solved the situation,
but only momentarily.
for when the cloudiness
cleared away, the minute
formless shapes regained
form and normalcy.
Fightened m. tured and fled.
