opulent blood red setting sun
sinking silently below sultry summer horizon bereft of clouds
sidewalk strangers strolling
casting elongated shadows zig zagging across a cafe patio
murmuring patrons savouring pastries
sipping cappuccinos
lattes
on a walkway a young mother huddles over a baby tram
comforting hysterical twins
quietly
almost imperceptively in the eery light of dusk
world between worlds
my demon lover hovers naked midair
humming birds haloing her otherworldly blanched face
unholy eyes unfathomable blackness
refined malice wicked smile
pale white hand beckoning me forwards
arising effortlessly
I glide inaudibly
weightlessly floating upwards to her one-pointed gaze
intimately embracing beyond gravity
lips parting
mystical kiss sucking breath
vanishing into wordlessness
11 old applause
