FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

THE SADDEST PART

the last page
when she looks at him
and he looks at her
their eyes still full
in the flames of love

yet the car is waiting
and she must now go

and he takes the broom
back to his hand
to clean the street
where he is tasked
to be in all the days
of his life.
