RambleAmble More Poems Song Lyrics Back to Index
	champagne over water spotted you down on Highland     just at the final edge         of sunset,     snake-charming by cell phone – coincidentally, we both happen to live             under the same sky,     the same bruised color         of Hollywood at twilight,     indigo to the north         to the west, champagne             over water – here at the ultimate spa     where deal-makers go to die         saw you and nearly stopped, but then     what could I say?         faced with our twin shades, reflecting the sunset         back onto ourselves, it seemed –     you know the place           I mean, down where the ornamental palms       stand silhouette,             like women         holding their breath © 2007 by Beth Stevens
