Rumours

All that it takes
is one little black dress
to start swaying
in that vacant closet

For the rest of them
to nudge each other
clicking like heels on cobblestone
or disapproving tongues


Words

On this dark,
sultry night
I come to you
like one who is lost
in love

A moment`s captive
like a lone sail
at sunset
suspended on the bay

only a few gulls
keeping it company
