Real whisper, silence and pleasant women who bring what's missing to me not even women really more girls than woman, physically mature but young in the heart living a life I won't ever have . . . coming to me with warmth and temporary love silence sits in my lap while I run my hands over young brown flesh, she's just doing her job long dark hair covering me with a closeness wrapping me in forgetting whisper so quiet and gentle razor scars crawling up and down her arms habits and desire overriding the youth lost in a rush to be free, now she works the Valley for a pimp that was on Geraldo pleasant warm and brown and soft large dark eyes and smile from the Samoan islands drinking cheap wine laced with PCP, the secret dance of the south pacific played slowly across an afternoon with the rhythms of love drawn against pressed flesh ending with lips wrapped around firm male skin every drop pulled and savored I think about this, rather than golden-green eyes and a warm hand I can't stop holding I think about the truth I've had rather than the truth I need
