LOVE REMEMBERED
LOVE REMEMBERED
all that remains
her cigarette smoke
crawling lazily to the ceiling
her footsteps
echoing down the hall
the angry slam of a red door
from the pavement floats up
the clickity-clack of red stilettos
the Morse Code for loss
a Focus LP
caught on a scratch
caught on a scratch
the same pale pink
lipstick kiss
on cigarette and champagne glass
rain falling now
in the open window
wetting the still sleeping cat
a church bell
scatters crows
a drunk staggers down the road
the end never appears
to be the end and then
it just is
I stumble against the record player
Focus get back into the groove
"...'round goes the gossip...'.round goes the gossip..."
