sun nudges eyes
lady yawns
stretches
smiles a memory
sweet food
sweet man
searches sheets with toes

une attrappe de poule
gone

tiptoes  
with morning sun
room to room
sound of gone

where his Panama hung
empty nail

charcoal man
drinking café au lait
from another cup
eating sugar from another bowl
not one crumb left
for the lady

only enough madelines
for one night

lady
pleure

Elle ne doit pas pleurer ! Il est un homme, et est pour toujours seulement tant que son attention est distraite.

He will be back, won't he Lady!

He should watch where he gets his sugar from ... might get that social disease, the sweet tooth.

Yep.

:: Laughs ::

Do I get to plead the 5th?
Let's just say ...
He was sucking sugar ... and ...
well, you know the rest of the story.

:: laughs ::

So ...
I love this Charcoal Man cause He appeals to me -- but, he ain't drinkin' café au lait out of my teacup.

Yes, details...

empty nail...

little images like that
make for some fine vignettes...

and give an endearing quality
to the loving rogue...



well done.

Okay, I am older and wiser.  Maybe he can drink  café au lait from my cup.  Once.


Or twice.
