Hippie Love

He looked homeless

in his yellowed beard

and torn khakis.

When the quartet played,

he yelled, "Bravo!"

and swayed

with bliss-closed eyes.

Then in she walked

with teasing hips

and thick eyebrows -

all purple and laughing and lovely.

Pulled close,

he kissed her
smitten

to whisper

"I'm so glad you're here."
