walking out beyond the ends of my eyes
over to the side of my hands
where they follow the pimple face walls
of some old man's friendly stucco

tomorrow is just wearing her slip
and standing in front of the sun
making herself seem available
like another man's wife in her mind

and I know looking in that direction
is something you just don't do on sundays
but it is always hard to turn away
without the sound of my boots on wood

disturbing the rest of the weekend
and causing one to stay a bit too long
beyond their welcome in today's shoes
dwelling on how damp socks feels

when your bare feet pray for restless

There is melancholy in this, dear D., always masterfully expressed. Oreo manana sounds good to my ear.

Very haunting poem.  I love the images that drifted across my eyes and into my mind.
