my love affair

The colors, the lines, texture and movement
saunter in a thousand inaudible words;
the backdrop of a drink in hand or the clutch of someone’s arm.

Memorabilia and transportation;
where one’s been and where one’s requesting to go.

The sophisticate’s vernacular;
a conversation in the ensembled tongues
of muted Park Avenue voices.

Apple cherry tulle, magenta organza, sapphire chiffon;
a late-night narrative read to a stranger on a glistening city street.
