Film Noir
It’s raining calicos and bulldogs;
amber lamps pinstripe
the murk as a dark sedan veers
down the private drive.
A leggy dame hops out of the boiler,
her stilettos stabbing asphalt.
It was 2 am. The doll crosses
the foyer then lingers.
She’s soaked
in allure; cagey under platinum
locks and gray fedora.
Her sodden trench coat drips
off dangerous contours
into Dutch's eager paws.
He takes the plunge,
head-first,
into calamity.
”Make us a drink, darling,”
the bird tweets,
with absolutely no interest
in dipping her bill.
Pale gams swing heels,
full hips sashay staircase.
Languidly, she slides
a derringer from her garter.
