Welcome

Welcome, new listener. Sit back and let your mind drift into mine like snow in springtime, sowing my seeds of inspiration. Eyes locking, tender kisses, warm flesh, etc.

Sunday morning paper and coffee love. Oh, but what for the less straightforward? The freezer aisle on a hot day.

A stranger catches you cooling your tits over frozen entrees. Oh, even now my intent with this tale has shifted. It's early and I'm excited to meet you.

Head sideways and smiling. The crow's caw, squirrel's chitter. Have you ever wondered at the curves of a black wasp or a sandelver? Dancing around a willing tree, its roots like legs with forbidden openings.

Tweeting birds, the dawn of saying goodbye, and cars rushing past give you pause to travel back. Oh, Paris, the thirteenth arrondissement, the scent of unrequited memories, blueberry wine, big tubes of charcuterie hang from the dark. Laughing wildly drunk on meat, the anise green of absinthe, its crystalline finish lists on the tip of my tongue.

Oh, the musky smell of Paul, l'étudiant des médecins. My back up against the catacomb bricks, the chill of immortality succumbs to the saltiness of youth and sweat. Stain my dress, my lips swollen from ten thousand ways of bliss.

What is time? A blushing sky says hi as you exit the night. The faint smile of jetons and sex, we slip into a cab.

His eyes sneak a glance and I smile back. Yes, sir, he's quite the prize. Our last adieu's in slow motion, snapshots we can forever unbox, the curve of a nose, top of a lip, a blonde curl stuck to a forehead, a fingertip takes one last taste of my thighs, and time arrives to its first destination.

Au revoir, Paul. Bon chance, Miss Bloom. From the sidewalk I catch his smile and the sigh of our secrets exhale into the fleeting love and the city of lights.
