Julia

Julia loved the smell of pepper
she always poured the grains slowly
from their glass shakers
into the deep bin
breathing the spice with her eyes closed
he would watch her from the bar
while he did his inventory
she had a striking sensuality about her
her hands playing at simple tasks in a dim restaurant
were tripping over his flesh in a hazy dream
he would watch her dark curls fall over her eyes as she wiped tables and swept floors
he imagined his own hands full of them, gently tugging
he liked her plush lips
and the way she smiled warmly at her customers
Her calves were made hard from 6:00 am runs
and he loved to picture her sweating and panting
tanned skin glowing in the sun
sometimes he wondered what she would do
if he pulled her over the bar and had his way with her
right there with the stoli and the bacardi limon
bottles shaking... earth moving
Julia would be screaming his name
while the other waitresses looked on
but instead he fills her tray with vodka tonics and chardonnay
small smile
polite 'thank yous'
her soft mouth burns holes in his mind
and everything else slips through
until there is only Julia
