More in Dregs & Other Unreadables on the river bank at 7pm
Against the mahogany sunset her silhouette haloed in gold
she statued the hard marble thoughts of everyday.
"you're beautiful," I chanted
my mantra, "I love you."
tomorrow blazed in her eyes like a viking funeral,
"don't say it,"
she said, "just do it."
