Epilogue inspired by The Beatles- Eleanor Rigby by Theresa C. Gaynord

She sips red wine, her favorite appetizer

to a kiss that slips beneath whispered

words bonded by the misery of determination,

when in a moment, language fails, intrudes

thoughts, and there’s confession of pain

in every breath.

The sky opens up with cold, hard, rain; an

attempt to dig deeper through all defenses,

violating boundaries, begging for interruption

between the caresses of sweetness

and self-sacrifice; where stream walks in the

spotlight of sensual retreat,

an erotic art that performs as it explores

masculine and feminine energy with subtle

passion. The open cafe’ exists in her world

as a witness to individuality and freedom.

Heat rises, swimming in electric charges,

touching her hair,

before the first strike in an impending war

that has her gazing at the floor. He, moving 

closer, she, away, intimidated by his needs

and wants, his love for her; secure. A fictional

wedding plays in her head. She’s read this book

before. She knows the song, and its ending.
