In the Heat of the Night
in the heat of the night
elegant, authentic, articulate
around her neck
fine ornamental jewelry
she walked majestically
she was confident and sure
with smiles she came to him
he embraced her tightly
then kissed her passionately
romanticism was all the air
solid brass was the decor of the room
in finishes were chrome and antique gold
she moaned
he responded with a grunt
then she collapsed into rubble
then became a heap of dust
he stood alone
stranded lost in questions
