the doctor gave her less than a year to live back in 96 and that was a special kind of dying she said those three hundred and forty days give or take a few since who was counting them then well she was and maybe he did too she thinks back often of him and lets her indelicate elucidate a zenith smile, of how he danced with her on friday nights down at the pier when he and she dressed in levies and she went braless there and the reaction was not from chill but from his fondest attention she remembers his hands, those fingers, she says must have been a surgeon's the way they entered her heart and wrote his name with flagrant conspiracy to win her soul back from an affectionate lonely that went away somewhat abruptly when hubby found the poetry and suspicious laughter later when she woke from a dream and thought he was another lover he took the keys to the chevy and her mrs decorations from the monogramed stationary and the set of china his mother the madame had graciously handed down she took the insults with a grain of freedom and a suitcase of blue moved into a doctors house in malibu she had accidental opportunity to live a life of fragile complexity and chai tea and occasional poetry, if there is time before they go dancing at the pier on fridays in their levies and she still goes braless especially when there is a chill on the breeze ©Dark |

I loved the sensitivity in this writing, which I very much enjoyed. The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. |
