Week at a Hotel in a Foreign Country: Inspired by a Movie

An encounter
he thinks as he stands
shaking her hand
with all his attendants milling around
saying goodbye.

He wants to give her a kiss
instead of becoming
a stranger again.

He massaged her feet.
She trusted him.
They talked the deepest
and quietest speech.

And just as the sun
begins to set
and the door of the taxi
opens, he gives her a kiss
and creates big
purple and red
memories.
