sipping street

 

Sipping st. LA

 

 

 

and the people ooze through each other off the etched balconies.

 

 

 

Floating                         

 

                                aimlessly

 

 

                  bubbles in evening breezes

                           over slated sidewalks

                       lifted by scents of jambalaya and booze

 

 

past continuously repainted and scarred doors

 

 

to the open neon windows that

spit music and promise the

time of your life

 

 

 

women palpitate and grind their intoxicating prowess

with giddy abandonment

 

 

and the cobwebs, cracks,

and weather worn walls

 

 

hide in plain sight with time

 

 

 

and silence.

i hope you wrote this while watching these acts. this line is absolutely perfect: "past continuously repainted and scarred doors".

[Six Impossible Things]

Love the imagery. Its great how you touch on the senses- the smells, the sounds... There's a wonderfully created scene, here. Light and oh so good :)

[William J. Wilkins]

Wonderful, wonderful imagery here. Makes me want to fly south right now, just to experience the mood and tone this piece sets.

So far, this is a favorite of yours for me! I followed the words and the images were there, almost before I got there myself. This is a masterwork. (Submit this one! (Yet, I have many more to read, so...))
