Visitation

 

By Shawn R. Jones

 

Last night

I saw your image

relaxing in the green

suede chair

legs crossed

barefoot shaking

cigarette in right hand

drink in left-no ice

blue jeans-regular fit

dark jaw tightened

brown eyes fixed

and thin lips parted

by smoke escaping

a ghostly kiss.

      I prefer poetry : ) I wrote this when I was in Vegas at the dance teacher’s conference a couple years ago. It is inspired by Pappy!
