Lats night's apparent indiscretion of some dirtbag husband...
Their collective quiet is
pulled taut, as two unknown lovers strain under the weight of some great sexual
driven passion, right beneath an apartment window on a slush ridden corner in Manhattan. They kiss in a maddened
fulfillment as their invisible bond promises never to be broken. They look
happily, savagely, into each other’s eyes, into what lies next. Under the
streetlamp, lit with desire, as the river runs along the west side, and the sun
sets on the east, quite the contradiction, as conflict now rises from the gold
of his wedding band. He probably has already called home, to state he has a late night unexpected office meeting.
He twists it, often and
frantic, twirling it around his finger, as if not knowing what to do with it.
He pulls it off, fastens it to the inside fold of his briefcase,
and in the darkness of the case the ring knows nothing. The ring sees not the
forbidden embrace, the fruit of another, the tongues probing, forbidden fruit
of the lover, as body parts, hug, touch and cling to one another.
The pounding of his heart is
for this lover, as the ring sits secure in complete epic darkness. The ring, never
knows, and never tells. The love affair, it stands on the corner of 77th and
Lexington, beneath the street lamp, covered in heat, blushing from fulfillment.
The taste of yet, still another husband gone bad!
Whose
husband is it? It doesn't look like mine...but he definitely belongs to some unfortunate trusting lady whom apparently made a very
poor judgment call in her choice of choosing this "poor excuse for a man" as her husband...
