Poem

the vibration
of the violin
fading to the timbre
of voices
upon the stage

midnight hour
slowly chiming in
as the bartender
pours another drink

her lipstick
slowly kisses the edges
as she sips away
her pain

she sees her lover
in the reflection
of mind 
paling
with every sip

she downs another
as his face
becomes a mirage
in the haze

she remembers
his touch
        his scent
                his kiss
                       his words
as he walked away

surely just one more
will make him disappear
from memory

she orders another
as he walks in
the dimly lit room
with a woman
wrapped in the curls
of his arms

his eyes
catch hers
with the look
of regret

she can't see 
past the pain
but doesn't let him see
instead she smiles

as she sets her drink aside
and kisses the bartender
goodnight

she walks away
casting silhouettes 
like shadows
on the sidewalks
as her pain
subsides

with the tempo
of night's zephyr
she exhales a sigh
as the mist of darkness
traces the contours of her face

like a fog lifting
her breath rises
as she smiles
with the same fullness
as this moon
illuminating
the night

clueless as to where this came from....
