Postcard Sunset

A postcard sunset playing through your jet

Black, long, midnight hair


A gingham blanket

Shade to flank it

A pot of Darjeeling

Good and hot


Some conversation

For clarification

Do you love me 

Or do you not?


A postcard sunset playing through your jet

Black, long, midnight hair


The sun was dipping

Your tea was tipping

Clean-up cleans up 

Into a kiss


My friend Cavendish

He said, "Make a wish."

I closed my eyes and 

Wished for this


Mr. Postcard Man

Here's your picture

Send it to me down the line

For this magic evening

Oh, this magic evening

For this magic evening

To remind


She was half Turkish and

Half Irish and

All Jewish and 

So was I


My heart was hearkening

Her eyes were darkening

Like the mountains 

In the western sky
