Special childhood memory
BLACK WIDOW

[ Jacksonville, Florida 1952]

I remember you in waves of black silk
floating lazily in a summer breeze
grace in slow motion
swaying ecstasy
across the grass
Shalimar lingering in the air
as you passed
wide brimmed widow’s hat
pulled down to your eyes
raven night
hidden dark
diamonds sparkling rainbows
in sunlight
ruby lips smiling at whispers and lies:
the widow's kiss
icy cold.
the passion of many men
a friend to a lonely boy
of ten
