up up  slow  jerk up  up  not fast  not glorious  but slow  up  up into the sun  slow  sure like fate  poise on the brim  the brim of life  two shining rails straight down  Melva's head was on his shoulder  his arm was around her  poise  the down  gasping  straight down  straight like sin  down  the curving shiny rail rushed up to meet them  hit the bottom then  shoot up  fast  glorious  up into the sun  Melva gasped  Alex's arm tightened  all goes up  then down  straight like hell  all breath squeezed out of them  Melva's head on his shoulder  up  up  Alex kissed her  down  they stepped out of the car  walking music  now over to the Ferris Wheel  out and up  Melva's hand was soft in his  out and up  over mortals  mortals drinking nectar  five cents a glass  her cheek was soft on his  up  up  till the world seemed small  tiny  the ocean seemed tiny and blue  up  up and out  over the sun  the tiny red sun  Alex kissed her  up  up  their tongues touched  up  seventh heaven  the sea had swallowed the sun  up and out  her breath was perfumed  Alex kissed her  drift down  soft  soft  the sun had left the sky flushed  drift down  soft down  back to earth  visit the mortals sipping nectar at five cents a glass  Melva's lips brushed his  then out among the  and the sun had left a flush on Melva's cheeks  they walked hand in hand  and the moon came out  they walked in silence on the silver strip  and the sea sang for them  they walked toward the moon  we'll hang our hats on the crook of the moon Melva  softly on the silver strip  his hands molded her features and her cheeks were soft and warm to his touch  where is Adrian  Alex  Melva trod silver  Alex trod sand  Alex trod sand  the sea sang for her  Beauty  her hand felt cold in his  Beauty  the sea dinned  Beauty  he led the way to the train  and the train dinned  Beauty  dinned  dinned  her cheek had been soft  Beauty  Beauty  her breath had been perfumed  Beauty  Beauty  the sands had been silver  Beauty  Beauty  they left the train  Melva walked music  Melva said  don't make me blush again  and kissed him  Alex stood on the steps after she left him and the night was black  down long streets to  Alex lit a cigarette  and his heels clicked  Beauty  Melva  Beauty  Melva  and the smoke made the night blue

Melva had said don't make me blush again  and kissed him  and the street had been blue  one can love two at the same time  Melva had kissed him  one can  and the street had been blue  one can  and the room was clouded with blue smoke  drifting vapors of smoke and thoughts  Beauty's hair was so black  and soft  blue smoke from an ivory holder  was that why he loved Beauty  one can  or because his body was beautiful  and white and warm  or because his eyes  one can love
