his days trail dimness urges his heels Panama hangs limp cigar stales hands crave shadow hair mouth needs red lip cannot sleep dreams wrap him he struggles dressed in close fitting ache he watches life a show not for him to play his ground has shifted lady has taken his true crossing the place he stands a man follows his heartbeat naked star to where she lies stands outside makes no move papa walks out arrete toi stop you she here? he asks small wha’ you say bon rien you say she here? you say my doucette here? passe’ leave dog you want faire la misere again some more you don’t do nuff? my doucette called your name till the end where you was then? you wan kill her maman? she don cry nuff please you? coeur cassé broken heart goin’ now fetch my twice barrel shoot gun charcoal man wanders river fields canebrake dares not sleep to dreams of small coffin draped in white holding his heart |

They have got it bad -- and so do I. I feel like this voyeur peeking in their window with a glass against the wall and my ear pressed to it. aziza |

Leaving us in fields of haunted love, are you now? Some story-teller you are, m'dear. It has been a pleasure, and I look forward to the conclusion. And check your mail! |

I agree with aziza. Your vivid portrayals lead me to feel as though I am a voyeur observing their intimate moments.  Linda |
