Welcome to Miami
Upon waking, he had
hoped she
might have seen him
in a whole
different light ..
Maybe, in honest
rich colours or even
some rare ones ..
But hey,
who could possibly
know for sure
and at what point,
or what cost ..
Do take note though ..
He always made
a big thing
out of being a poet ..
Then, not long after,
good morning,
she said, as she lifted
her head and placed it
back down again,
swiftly, in the nest
of both palms rested
lightly on elbows ..
And she
yawned, welcome
to Miami sir ..
Just be sure to have
a good time
while you’re in town ..
But in the interim,
I must say
that old Cuban
stamp in your
new English passport
looks great ..
Are you from
out of state
by any chance ..
Right now, I’m not
sure he replied,
but don’t
care anymore ..
Then leaned across
and kissed her shoulder,
just inches below
the cool
hummingbird tattoo ..
She lay there,
smiled and said
don’t dare tell a soul ..
It was meant
to be some kind of
swordfish ..
But hey, your
fingertips and tongue
on either side
of my wings or my
dorsal fin like that will
sure do nicely for now sir ..

That could be a swoony hummingbird. Don't tell me where it was placed! heehee.
She said it was some kind of swordfish so who am I to argue .. but since you asked, somewhere in the region of the Royal Palm Hotel, Miami South Beach .. Neville

A subtly portrayed interlude. The scene is amplified through small and human, interactions and conversation. The small details lend an air of humanity to the affair. Much enjoyed by me. - Phil A.

Excellent work, my friend.
She did most of it .. ta Tom .. Neville
