Imprint
Scotty's Bar
Night I will never forget
She called me over
To light her cigarette
My fingers trembled
She held them steady
Looked me in eyes
Unexpected affinity
Warmth, affection
Familiar stranger
Old souls reunited?
Destined adventure?
Small town mind
Encountered sophistication
Windows of possibility opened
Views to new expectations
She woke me at sunrise
Gentle kiss on forehead
Imprinted sweet memory
And left my bed
