Frozen Frame

The shreds of broken china
The dying bubbles of floored champagne
The half soaked mauve carpet
The half burnt scented candle
The upturned gleaming stiletto
The key chain in the Plexiglas aquarium
The troubled expression of the slow gold fish
The half open wooden cabinet
The fluttering Prussian blue curtain
The cork lying by the unused napkin
The shredded cocktail dress on the table
The stained satin sheet dragged till the chair
The airborne velvet gift wrapper
The slow moving opaque glass window
The faint whiff of French cologne
The rolling receptacle of the tumbler
The metallic ding of the stuck elevator
The still lit Cuban cigar on the bed
The squished petal of rose on the sheet
The polished shoe on the fluffy pillow
The aubergine contact lenses on the crumpled negligee
The wafting burnt smell across the hall
The slight beep of the dying phone
The heaving chest of the lover
The glistening face of the muse
The heavy musk of diurnal carnal love
The semi shut eyes of the conjoined pair
The fresh clots on the ruddy skin
The regained labour of lost love
The complete circle of need and greed
The cue for curtain call or a new act
The sloppy end or a renewed start?
