In a white shade (Day 907)

Sultry   the day

dark in the underbelly

ancient   paved with

shards of colored tiles

in a white shade   you

plum-taut and pale

one arm outstretched

always   will you wait

there   I but a step away

later   no matter 

how slow we drove

lavender hills rose and 

fell beneath us   dozens 

of butterflies dove into 

our grille   committed

like you   to a swift 

and sovereign demise
