Lying under a mango tree, sweat drips down my face
as I watched clouds pass by. I close my eyes
to welcome the breeze that smelled of ripe fruit.
We close out the day
Stifle the sun
Feel the freedom in our eyes
I tilt the lampshade like a spotlight,
thinking maybe a little bump & grind.
No one could make you up, not even Baudelaire.
Evening’s gray was giving an edge,
to the exiting orange-glow of the day
that was following you through those doors.
