Another Woman

Amelia's spinning in circles
head back, arms raised.
She's a Saturday girl
born early in the morning
when the skies were a bright
dark black mist.
She's 21 years later dripping
love from her pores
and her hair is dark blonde,
flipped short.
When she stops to look
wisps cover pale blue-green eyes.
She's watching Ebony
seated calmly still-
more youthful, more slim-
more oozing alternative
for her enigma.
Ebony looks back, long blonde hair
a veil down her graceful back.
Thoughts race through her mind
but the words never articulate
the black and purple risings
deep inside of her.
She glances sideways glimpsing
behind black rims and glass
to see Amelia's lover brush the hair
across her forehead.

Another lover lies in bed
within the dark city nightscape,
mind rewinding to retrace
his last gaze upon Hannah's lips-
full and pouty, parted slightly
below blue water palcid eyes,
long legs tangled with his
like her soft blonde hair
wrapped around his fingers.
Hannah's fidgeting miles away
with worn denim and warm sweaters
over smooth skin.
21 years also gone by,
her laughter is forever rolling richly
into every ear around her.
Her glance appears upward to the ring
pierced into her brow,
but it masks her tripping mind
fixated upon China,
a tiny pixie girl
exotically woven together in her
mother's womb-
some sort of beauty
that you long to wear around your neck.
China is walking short steps
on long sidewalks
taking time to breath deep,
and it's certain her eye catches
a glimpse of another woman
she wants to be.
