something in the way she moves

something in the way she moves


when she walked into the room, heads turned. it isn't that she is beautiful or even particularly pretty. but there is something about her. something about the way she moves through the space that seems to lighten the air. no, that's not it.

she displaces the air.

maybe it's the line of her neck as she leans in to speak to someone. a shared moment that seems theirs alone, her hand resting lightly on a shoulder.

her hair is short and gray...spiky. a serape of deep topaz flow behind her. there is much discussion about her age.

she slides onto a bar stool and the bartender smiles, placing a glass before her. the exchange of words brings laughter to the barkeep as he turns to another guest.

there is no back to the stool but her posture is straight and her eyes watch the room in the mirror behind the bottles. who is she searching for?

more than one man is turned away with a smile.

I take the stool next to her and order a drink.

I risk a sideways glance only to find her looking directly at me

my drink arrives and I gulp half of it down.

"You're late."

You cannot conceive the many without the one.

The confident walk of a woman well loved by the man she adores is enhanced by the love they share.

Intriguing.

Good posture: so often overlooked and discounted, yet it says so much.

This could be the start of a short story I would thoroughly enjoy reading.
