She has an expensive cocktail in her hand
embellished with umbrellas and rare fruits
she evaluates everyone around her
with one, poignant glance
Shiny high-heeled shoes embrace her fragile feet
with each step she takes as she
hurries across the room and pass me
the bar is open,
eau de parfume lingers where she stood
her eyes follow the flow of the golden...
refreshement, closely
now she taps the desk with her long fingers
decorated with lucid nail polish, she's impatient
delicate wrist picks up the chalice, firmly
her lipstick leaves a stain,
like an acceptable defect on a piece of art
she gives a certain look to the bar tender, refill
flawless, long legs can be seen from underneath
the layers of her haute couture dress
she appears to be lonely,
although she thinks she's with a friend
like a fallen angel, sent down from heaven
because she loved her friend more
than she loved God
her essence is
disguised with mercurial mystique
like a torn curtain swaying
in the charren window, after a conflagration
she's untouchable with her alleviation
the night grows older, her heavy head
nods back and forth,
she expresses her appreciation
to someone whose hand gestures indicate
a taxi's been called, I was too late
I watched her all night, waiting for my chance
to get to talk to her, waited for my
inhibitions to disappear
but there she goes, staggering down the stairs
and drives away, away from me
in a bright yellow cab
but next year I'll be poised
and she will come to me running
because I will drink as much as her
thus we'll have one friend in common.
