in frisco


in frisco,

who remembers
your visit?
the night scented
with coffee,
vivid with
nut-lavender;
my head spun
in wonder:
“someone has left
his crown?”
... someone’s laughter...
“and his
gloves:
smell
the dove-skin!
was he naked?”

you hurry away,
the sidewalk twists
inward;
a roguish boy
stops me:
“did you drop this?”

There is a definite emotional connection that brings life to your writing. Cubists style word arranging... what a great concept! It tells the story in a Truth that captures the heart of the event without having to provide the truth of facts in a consecutive order. Creating atmosphere of an event without having to recreate the actual space...
