dancing fingers

"dancing fingers"

everything was hands on.

they came with glasses of cheap wine.

she (a singer) lay across my piano
to confess all of her greatest

conquests.

i was struck.

perhaps by

her voice; a river in time
where flowers would grow & bloom
then wither
near a snow-covered creek

i was positive that her soul resembled a
white pine coffin:

a wordless chamber where the Sun couldn't
reach & where the bleached wood purified her

(hardly) admirable life.

but i recalled her smile &
there was something pure in that.
