And here’s the clip from In The Mood For Love!
She descends with care
a dark passage to a deep
hearth
past lamplight‘s arc,
long narrow stairs
to a crowded ark
where men work food forges
attend their singular
alchemies for few cents
Fill her green thermos with
delicious scents
nourishment’s promise of wanting
more
She’s a sylph, a fixed, pristine curve
Ascends from the sweat, heat
and steam
of the night kitchen, her
semaphor swerves
float up the fragrant well
slink, rising to an unvisoned
street
Violins sing of delectable
things
swirl of her hips, her high
heeled dance
his handsome face, a
lingering glance
drifts in the heart’s
corridor.
