he is there waiting at round table in the corner
dark cropped hair
intense deep-set eyes
when you meet him for drinks at
downtown lounge
everything brown and brass
voice intimate and assured
as he orders you a smooth scotch
eyes hold you as he tells of his travels
in eloquent phrases
he loves exploring on his own he says as he talks about the
beauty of the countryside in France
or the quaint streets of Spanish towns
the truth of New Orleans
and you sip your drink and take in his
smooth
intense
eloquence
eloquence
