Sundown hovering on the sidewalk of a small town two girls in yellow mirror dresses always pull eyes no one had to tell her she could feel him looking over the rim of a martini Shaken and stirred the swill of chilled liquor, the sound of violins.. the laughter of two lookers in yellow....the sensual charm of her...as he looked, as she looked back...eyes unwavering...they both knew.... dangling shoe from toe she turned inside of leg to his look leaned in downlashed whispered… body warmed to his distant touch tongue flicked the rim of her glass Absorbing The pimiento… A lone olive awaiting It’s fate. His wandering eyes traveling a curving trail toward Silken spires and flaming lips As the devil waited to chase The moon and her look stoked his fires. Brazened by his rambling glance she did those hand things that women do so well men always seem to understand slender finger in the mouth adjustment to a shoe touch on her companion’s arm ever so slight nod in his direction sensed by only him and the lone olive Lifted her eyes smile curved his way chastened moon watched from behind the devil’s shoulder His change chilling his pocket, Would she follow? A hurried Glance bought the river’s Bend…A friendship sought And wished to never end. A Lightning thrust as waters Rode the shore…and one Might trust to be forever more. she rose graceful whispered to her yellow dress friend behind a soft hand with one final laugh she defied the devil and winking at the moon she followed the river’s bend |
