How can I be so right so wrong

For her

It’s strong and wild like the wind on the Kazakh steppe
It’s having seen the world in pink and now all derision
It’s horse sausage imported and dropped
It’s that glow that made her shine throughout
It’s telling the truth even though it turns against onself

A pink world
imported horse sausage
and reluctant true confession
is always
a good combination
for a poem
about anything
well done

I find the second to fourth lines very strong, the "Kazakh steppe" - after looking up what it was - really conveyed a personality that has a wild, unpredictable strength, so line 3 and 4 kind of reinforced that feeling for me.
