Summer Shines

Summer hits with a bang and the sun is out one day and the clouds are sealing in the humidity the next. Rains wash us down every other weekday but the weekends are so beautiful.

The sun is shining, art is rampant, beautiful women are showing signs of spring faded and summer full bloom. Sly looks from the corner of thier eyes so inviting. Tanned skin, and sun bleached hair waft from room to room.

Sweat beads on our foreheads as we dance under the dim light, and vaulted ceilings of summers hottest hidden afterhours spot. My dress rumples, my boots are wearing in the strangest of places and my muscles are regaining strength with each beat. Unfurling like a fiddle head in the dark, music takes us away.

The water is warm the wine cellar is empty already. Champange flows like water, ketamine is all around. We float....and we float...the world turns fuzzy on the edges. Naked skin in the night air....and Ill never see that girl again.

Oriental rugs, and a room with too many windows. The smell of wood polish and a five story mansion with your picture on the wall. We look out onto a city rampaging in front of us. The world is at our feet...literally. The light wont chase us here. Theres enough money now that the curtains are thick and the couches luxurious. You could hide forever ....here in the fog.

My friends lay a crumpled heap, as I fumble in the early morning light for my dress. My dress, and my boots....take me home. Curled up in my bed the next afternoon finds me in no time. Like it never happened, a night vision. A dream. But the warmth, inside and the smiles the feeling...it lingers and I know. I was there...and so were you, and we didnt fall.....we floated....and Ill never see that girl again.

Fabrics turn to dust, the wine glasses sit empty and the models have disapeared...

....and I was by myself.

What a beautiful night.
