47?
“What?”
she squints her smile
through rain perfect eyes
Lips
slightly parted
create much
want
Her hair saturated with light
leaves the rest of the room
dark
“Whaaat?”
coy but unrehearsed-
her head tilts
just so
There is no response
to “what?”
No comeback with patent
repartee'
Well over my head
and my calm, cool
cracks-
napkin falls
to the floor
with my
soul
47 years on this planet
and I still know
less than
nothing
47?

Hi CG,
Long time not type. I found this little poetic vignette to be superb. Glad to see you again.

Re: 47?
What happened last Friday made me realize that I'd not grown a bit
since I don't even know when...
She was so, so beautiful.
