Black Satin Dress


Sorry for so few posts lately. Mea culpa. So in case anyone is still reading ... -:)


Black Satin Dress


Cosmic background radiation
crackles from the phonograph
as you dance

in a long satin dress, black,
holding scotch neat,
inviting me with your hips

to feel the irresistible pull
of dark matter
collapsing into a kiss.

A diamond needle spirals
inward to the final groove.
The only sound is a hiss.
