Parisian Lady
ascending from the foul-smelling metro station
the crisp city air rebirths me
into something new
into something better
all my senses kick into high gear
what is that?
the sound of a low, brassy note in the distance
the sweet smell of rose macarons
like a bar of floral soap
my mind escapes to an undisturbed utopia
one with men and women dancing vibrantly
the wildest reaches of my imagination
playing out into a real-life drama
my feet wander
dancing to their own queer song
then…
a brush of a woman’s coat brings me back
her haughty air contradicted by her sweet presence
the sharp lines of her jaw and her scarlet cheeks
those beautiful emerald eyes stare back at me
through my startled gaze
as she walks away, her feminine scent
trails behind
her fluffy dog prancing along
this is a parisian lady...
Random idea I had. Hope you like it :)
