Listening to
Black Velvet
sung by
Alannah Myle
I feel a red hot sun
in sulky shades of
sexy blue
blending to purples
with rosy cheeks
a smile of a great dance
fading to midnight black lace
across a patio of stars
and you in deep shadowed gray
i set
my hat
at a saucy angle
waiting for you
to notice
goose down gray
haughty and gay
in a country way
ready to step out
shout at the moon
and hope you'll spoon
on the way home
