Ciao Baby! |

The door, shutting as a shadow slid effortlessly beneath. Saying Ciao, Haste La Vista and so many other goodbyes into the twang of night’s string guitar. Click, click into the eve as echoes swallowed themselves whole in the sewer drain. I miss you, you just left, with roses for cheeks and lipstick smears on my navel. Night tugs me to the rumpled sheets, crumpled packs and empty glasses....Memories stir...swirl the bowl of lust again. Cackling softly, the crackle of coals calling. Warming the chill of air floating above the sill, wishing to be free to roam the night, flipping skirts too short for winter’s winds. Wait! My mind feverishly screaming, drowned by the hiss of a train before the leave...destination of tomorrow as passion ebbs into the darkened corners. Will you? Will I hear the click of heels on skyscraper legs as chilling winds tug the mini and blow the mind away? Ciao Baby, I’m listening... |

Such verve...such impatience! Such an extremely good rendering of the mood of the haunting night wind. Always good to read you. TD |
