Impish urchin in bombed Beirut.
Streetwise kid kickin’ in Karachi.
Teenage tomboy in Turkey.
Landing in London
A blonde siren,
A cool urban chick.
A city chapter of long love,
His saddening insanity,
The desperate threats
Precipitating escape
And re-emergence
As a Spanish senorina
Platinum beach babe
Celluloid mermaid
Absorbing the ambience of Almeria
Swigging the salacious sangria
Swinging her bronzed booty
Dismissing the oxymoronic talent
Always the horizon’s beckoning finger
The tempting sound
Of a new playground
Winging her way to LA
To sell her screenplay
An unpacked suitcase stay
Before diving down under
Thereafter. Whatever, wherever.

This cow girl shoots from the hip
Her pearly lips blowing
The smokey whispers from the tip
Of her diamond studded pistol.

I love the defiance in the sway of her hips, the brashness of being blonde & bronzed, her swigging and swingin'....

......her swaying has not just rhythm, but edge.
Long may it continue.

I adore the luxurious words you use. My vocal chords and tongue, twist, turn, crouch and caress as I travel through your words, towards Ingrid.

Thanks for painting a picture of her in my mind's eye.
