Key West

Ever
have
a longing
for a place

A feeling
so strong
you can taste it
and smell it

Feel
yourself there
the sun
on
your skin

The palms overhead
the tile
the shutters
the Little White House
the raucous
colors of
Bahama Village

Christmas lights
glowing
in 80 degree
darkness

Pasta
at
Antonia's

Pedi cabs all over the place

Drag queens
calling out
to
passers by
on Duval

The sights
the sounds
the delicious
bawdy air
