He thinks of her, of his world
Champagne and candlelight
Mascara and cheap cologne.
Travel to Budapest, Kiribati
Skin dipping in places exotic
Club – motel – shared rooms
A quick shower – therapeutic.
He seeks solace in the night
In this Capital far from home
Hers in the neon light
Them dollars – to entice.
Cigars, whiskey, his other poisons
Mary and Jane, her companions
Their eyes meet – in solitude
The DJ scratches a tune.
