Apricots (Day 1183)

eyebrows twitching   he squints 

into the sundrunk world beyond 

his table   where a woman walks

poised   as if she could resist 

the pressure of his eyes

would she succumb easily   

carelessly divulging the plump 

ripe fruit of her secrets

he weighs his options 

in the palm of his hand   unaware 

he is sound asleep

silver hair unruly as the midday

glare   dreaming of apricots 

warmed by a summer sun
