Shadows be cast no longer.

The face in all its beauty,

the notorious hotel...
monument to the greed of men,
it is a breathing stone-hewn titan -

Head down
The old woman sews 
A dress
Nimble fingers 
Marking each stitch
The whirring of machines
Whirling and whirling
Round and round
Threading memories

When she was afraid 
To speak to a boy 
Sitting next...

Knees creaking, clicking articulations, a
Spine complaining, shoulder crunching. 
Legs spindly toothpicks beneath a pregnant olive,
A-cups sagging. Lungs afire at the

A visit to...

...SOUL TUNES...

Regret. It sounds like a drum roll...

Sweat prickling down my forehead,
Leaving the stage now a tempting idea,
There it is…Tuba? Sax? Trumpet!
