Riding In The Sidecar – For Charles Bukowski “Magical Mystery Tour”
I am very tall
With streamlined breasts
Alabaster and flawless everything
Long stretches of elegant thigh
And eyes
Translucent horizons
With clear reflected glints
Of topaz and olivine
He is taller then me
His chin is strong
Broad in the shoulder
Not thick anywhere
Aquamarine eyes fine and soulful
Right there
At the window of love
And essence
Midnight shocks of tousled locks
And lips
Oh and lips
He leans in to listen
Hand on my knee
Warming me on many levels
Ponders my essence with curiosity
Eyes on my eyes
His ease his sincerity his caring
Are authentic and in the moment
I breathe him in
We drive and love the driving together
We find all that is simple and tasty
We are enthralled by landscapes and sunsets
All the natural elements come alive in our presence
Animals sweetly approach us
Together we have made a good beginning
At righting Eden
We can stay together anywhere
And be home
Anywhere we can be
We are home
With each other
He does not exist of course
Except in the mirror
In the glass
In the book and the song
And the poem.
