The wall against which she stands
scanning the bar as she plays
with a strand of her long, dark hair
hangs on a foretold connection.
Her eyes play a love song in stereo.
A metaphor drips from her lips.
A kiss of a French kind
rolls off her tongue,
collapsing my heart’s walls.
Sturdy walls make men fall.
