the one legged pigeon
was waiting for his coffee
and we were having ours
as I rattled off a few frames

each time I would compose her
in the shadowbox
she would eye me
with her sweet suspicion
and I would fall a little deeper
into this strange valley
of tides

we found ourselves
in that early AM
wandering the vacant walkways
and slumbering alleys
of Venice
enraptured by her beauty
and not able to steady my tongue
or clear my field of visions
I relied on instinct
and the vodka remains
of the hours not so long ago passed
and she always wore that cautious smile
with a satin bow under wraps
but I knew it was there
and so as the morning passed into day
we fell into the fold of one another
like moonlight into a tapestry of clouds
and we remained that way
for longer than I can remember
my memory not being
much of a almanac
and hours and minutes
not being much of anything
when things
are like that

"When things are like that"

A perfect choice.
