Old
black
and white
film, flickers
Subtitles; frames reel
Silent Picture; powderpuff skin
Siren dripping in pearls and furs; dapper gent, shined shoes
Brisk
Walk;
quickens
Thrill of chase
She slides open, shut,
carriage door, after door; through train
Craves to be caught, reprimanded; secret rendezvous
Hair
slick;
parted
Lips glossed thick
Thigh high silk stockings;
a dramatic clinch; vintage kiss
Cigarettes daintily smoked, savoured; Jazz, Rhythm and Blues
Spot
light
Band plays
Saxophone
Trumpet, double bass
Singer moans; Ivories tinkled
Whiskey on the rocks, shot fired; .............murder but with no clues!
