Wounded Sigh
An envelope of pink that she had kissed
sometime before, her perfume lingered still,
earthy reminders of last evening's tryst;
lay, unexpected, on his windowsill.
It's blatant presence flamed by dawn's warm rays
in contrast to the cold gray empty bed
which hours before the two had set ablaze
with wild abandoned passion, no words said,
except for those of love and evermore.
A note, in hasty hand, on hotel pad
"That was really fun. You scored a four,
neither the worst nor best I ever had."
A painful, wounded sigh disguised his rage
when hence he read the words upon that page.
