A tongue forming Russian and curling Turkish salivates for English. Her eyes osculate towards the Southern light while dilating as she invites me into the hazel. The brown, shaded by darkness, opens her skin to the stateless persecution. Searching for her motherland she culminates across the tidal surge, landing in a foreign drawl of permanency.

Tonight though, I was infatuated. Simple was the setting, complicated was the topic, and engaged was the mind. A wom...
