Warm and tender the air
Caresses and Kisses me
Hugging my torso
Under a shower of stars
The moon is holding her breath
And offering pale magic

Walking a street paved in
Glorious human souls dancing
I wonder how I could have
Been cynical, ever, about
This long coloured coiling rope
Of timelined experience

Sounds collide in a chaos of
Harmony and innuendo
As we float through a scenery
Crafted with infinite intrigue
Her dark legs flash like
Obsidian obsession

I capture a moment and
Inhale it like incense
I hold my breath in tribute
To the musing moon

White jacketed and brandishing
A cigarette to counterpoint our
Languid rhythmic stroll I feel the
Gravity of her hips pulling eyes as
Her smile leaps to spread across the
Faces of all those looking our way

I gather some Mariachi to accompany
Our movement through the scene
This moment deserves a soundtrack
Gods above I love this town
Somehow I get them to strum
The Bond theme, flamenco styled.

A shirtless drunken reveller
Of multifaceted sexual inclination
Joins us for a while, outrageous
And Remi laughs and banters
'this is what I'm talking about' he says
'A woman who can laugh like that'

He drifts away to find his own
Superspy moment.
I coil smoke around my fingers
Let it drift up to the moon.
"Release your breath" I say
In my deepest arcane wizard voice.

The moon breathes out
And the world is swept away in light
