ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER

6


One thing leads to another
he said with an insouciant smile, thinking ahead
as she glanced back,

first pancakes garnished with crème Chantilly,
and then back here to the bar
for a vin rouge or two.

One thing might lead to another,
he thought, eyeing
the stilettos and the leather -

the red shoes left by the door
the crumpled skirt on the floor
that long dark hair on his pillow.
