Whispers on the Wind

Pea-coat collar turned up
His footfall
Echo soundless
Upon
Wet pavement
He'd give anything
Everything
For dryness
A warm place

Into the diner going
Nearly colliding
With her
Eyes meet
Electricity
As he takes in
Autumnal tresses
And cerulean eyes

Sodden apologies
Repeated
Exchanged
In passing

At the counter
He sits
Awaiting
That warm
Decadent
Cup of coffee

Pulling a journal
Battered
Worn
From his pocket
Opening to
Painting after painting
Sketch after sketch
To the floor
Falls a napkin
Upon it scrawled
"Call me sometime."
Followed
By a number
