 In the Mood 

I walk into the designer donut shop and Mackenzie n asks, “Coffee black and hot like your women?” Morgan is the uber cheerful pierced inked clerk sweet and pretty. I have said, that once too many times. I smile and take the cup, wishing I was a younger version of me, but the younger me wouldn’t be caught dead here even if the sweet and pretty girl was given to dark young men with bad habits and scars 

I am looking at the choices something about the fit woman in athleisure wear seems familiar and the mask isn’t helping. I shake the feeling off. There are local art and locally roasted coffee for sale several gyms and yoga studios in the area. She doesn’t stand out just seems familiar, why I am not sure.

I go to the patio and take my red X marked cornerback to the wall clear view of all entrances and exits socially distanced. That woman comes out, and sits directly across from me, her gaze is intense, even 2metres away

“Good Morning,”, I say to pale blue eyes that smile back. There’s a connection.  I pick up my coffee, “Slainte”

   “You don’t remember me, do you? I’ll give you a hint; I only have one of my red Jimmy Choo’s. She said.


Synapses fire, there’s something to micro-dosing I play for time. “Of course, love, of course,” I say laughing I am getting something, and it will be here in a moment.”

I am only giving you one more hint, Carmen.” she said.

It comes back to me in a wave. meeting in the gallery then, a pub, then spontaneous combustion 

“I take it casual sex, is not uncommon for you.”

“Well blue jeans are allowed “I answer 

“That’s clever, now tell me my name.” She says her stare is hard.

“Carmen, but do you know mine?”

“Escamillo” She answers’. I laugh. 

“Why so serious,” I ask. “I think we’re past the small-talk stage. I am cool, I sussed that night I could have been any man. I woke up you were gone. I 

“You woke up before I left, I saw your body go tense. Then feigned sleep. I thought you might call about my pump.”

 “I didn’t get your number, love, and my friends didn’t either.”

“I wasn’t looking to be their wife's sister, and yes I was in the mood even, though I am not sure how you knew” She answers.

  “I could feel tension and heat,” I answer.

 “Am I in a mood now?” she asks 

“Yes, but for something else, not a rematch,” I said. 

“You’re good,” she said.

“My name is Marlowe; would you fancy coffee we can talk about the weather. I reckon if you wanted to put it all behind you wouldn’t stop.”

“I think I am in the mood for some conversation and coffee and moves close in, I in middle of plague pull her in. She’s in the mood and moods pass It’s now or never

pink spider sonnet-07.07.20
Thoughts of thy kisses calm me when upset.
Our passion turns the “thou” and “I” to “we,”
By love, not foes, O may I be beset.
To Jakku let us flee (sans Palpatine),
There meet the call of passion at our best.
Thou art the shell and I, within, thy bean,
My love for thee hath ev’ry day progress’d.
Love is the order lovers must obey,
Love is the new-grown fruit sprung from the heart,
Love plunges one headlong into the fray,
Love is a never-to-be-master’d art.
Though Sith would gladly see me disappear,
With thee, e’en space shall not too bleak appear.

Love in the time of virus
    “This place is not licensed is it?” Elise asks. Adding “I am Elise, the shockingly age-appropriate lover from a few months back.
    “Elise, how could I forget, you’re my kind,” I answer.

    You should know, there’s no sign out they don’t advert, Love, you have to know it’s here.” I answer.
“My Admin told me she’s nearly as old as your scotch, is your little friend?” Elise said sardonically.
    “Who? ‘” I am thinking of that night pleasure in am seeing her starkers’ resplendent in her abandon.
    “Your eyes are empty and hungry at the same time.” She said breathlessly. It’s oddly compelling like a wolf”
“So, what rings you to this illegal gathering.” I just needed to get out, and per my temperature I am not infected. “
“You look hot to me.” I said, placing my hand on her hand. If I am going to die it might as well be hot, besides we’re masked.
I’ll take it She smiles.
“I like you, but…”
“But? “I ask.
“You won’t like the answer” Elise says intensely looking for a reaction.
“I get that our drinks appear I swipe for 2 more.
“Hit me love” I down the scotch.
“The drinking and debauchery and general affinity for Bukowski might drive a wedge in all reality. I still think you’re fun. Just need reality. “Elise said with a sad smile.
“Reality is a condition caused by lack of alcohol
   






 

“How do you know, that not meeting my boyfriend?” Elise asks feigning outrage.
    “I don’t, but also don’t care” I answer.
    “You’re assuming, that, I want a repeat of the night.?” She asks with a suggestive smile.
    “We assume nothing, but it was a fun night,” I answer. Ordering drinks on the iPad provided.
the drinks arrive. I remember, scotch and soda.” I say placing drink in front of her. Long red nails wrap around it I can feel them on my back. I need skin on skin and conversation not over a screen or 2 metres back. I need connexion, and some serious chemistry, spontaneous combustion; human contact.
       “Tell me something Elise?” I ask.
    You remember my name, bonus points for that, what do you want to know.”
    “Anything, something about you.” I answer.
    “I am a C level executive I have an MBA and a JD.
    “No, personal not resumé, what song saved your life” I ask.
“I need a moment, which song, poem art, saved your life?” she answers.
    “My resume’ is simple over educated underemployed, and sussing by what you’re saying a mistake. Stick around and I may answer.” I answer
     “I had a bad day today; sorry. I choose the player with a dog. I may have taken advantage of you” Elise says laughing and clapping.

    “Thanks?” I answer.

    “I did do things I had never done on a first date and I lived in the Bowery. I say.
    “Is Bowery different, than here?” Elise asks looking amused.
    “Fuck me like you hate me, passed as romance,” I answer.
    “At least that’s’ honest” Elise says.
    “IK honestly want to be with you”
    “Will you fuck me like you hate me?” Elise says with a smile.
“Or like a love you “I answer.
“Don’t say the L-word. She says with a cold edge
“I keep hitting your  raw nerves, sorry”  I answer
“It’s about me not you, on a certain level we are  on the same wavelength.”
“That frightens you, so you break out the classic I’s not you, It’s me. Suppose we don’t have labels, and we don’t call anything we just do what we do come down the rabbit hole with me.” I answer I take her hand . over my shoulder, “I say Kellie close it tip yourself  and be generous, I am getting some.”
    “You’re sure about this “Elise says laughing.

    “Let's go out into the invisible death and see what happens, or what doesn’t. We could always go swimming .”
“Wish you were here-Pink Floyd, and Mad Girl’s Love Song-Plath, Starry night -Van Gogh-your’s are? “ She said.
“You can’t put your arms around a memory-Johnny Thunders, Sonnet 17-Neruda, Convergence-Jackson Pollock “  I answer ” let's go shelter in place.”

slamming gin
enveloping
Angel
in the vacuum
of his stare
Angel
exposed
her soul immaculate
berserk lightening
striking
energizing
Frankenstein reborn

lost faith

rejected divine
purity and beauty
horrify
just as
hideous and evil
comfort
pulling Angel
taking  her  down
deep
underground
gravity of his eyes
Prophet: a proclaimer of the will of God

purple dragon fly’s
don’t see the purple ones much
I walk in grey soup
thinking

ancient roads
one waits   in the next room
pointing at her watch
I am late
searching
a
sister of mercy
Sisters of Mercy are Roman Catholic women of faith who commit to serve God & serving those in need.
give us
a drink
give us
a spliff
give us

I must leave
Clarity: the quality of being coherent and intelligible
clarity
the next room waits
just not tonight
