Bravissima

Her frown made me sad--
kind of like tired, pliable carrots
do. Whereas her perfume
delighted like a flower concert
played by multicolored clouds. 

When she talked, I heard
her words as vocal chords
thrummed into the present
moment. And when she 
smiled at me--at me!--

well, I wanted to applaud
in a way that voiced
desire for an encore,
for me an encore.
