Lane

A young lady,
her diplomatic envoy,
making a constructive advance,
leaving nothing to chance,
brown eyes,
blue shoes,
solitary,
but not confined,
the heartache of the romantically blind,
black hair,
brown jacket,
standing still,
she sounds so shrill,
his tattoos are the only clues,
of the history he stands to lose,
Faberge,
blue chinos,
hers to choose,
cigarettes and booze,
music for the moment,
sorrow in the silence,
