She gained more freckles in New York. Her nearly iridescent skin now dotted with grace. Her constant delay she blamed on the trains. She moved through my apartment with such presence. Her skirts always too short as she spun for me all the same. “C’est la vie,” she’d say. She’s so carefree. Drinking espresso on her balcony in the afternoon, and I kiss her smooth, bacardi infused lips somewhere between witching hour and the sunrise.
