Lady Sings the Blues

Satin luscious, amber Beauty center-stage;
gardenia in her hair.  If flowers could sing
they’d sound like this.  That legendary scene:
the lady unpetals her song, the only light

in a room of smoke, nightclub tinkering
with lovers in the dark, cigarette flares,
gin & tonic.  This is where the heartache
blooms.
