They were walking down the street.. you would think that it was just one person.. a copy..a body divided into two equal parts.. the same gestures..walk…signs..glee in the eyes..two hearts beating as one.. holding hands…grocery bags in the other hands.. or was it a messenger bag filled with bags…just a glimpse..they crossed the streets…dress and smart suit..a warm day in April…using the cross-walk …cars stopped.. a guy singing some country song on the radio.. something about holding hands…yours in mine on a fine summer something…
They crossed…looked at each other…smiled…a genuine smile..a smile that commands a stare..that shouts I am here..look at me you single person… a smile that says that they are lucky…would it last forever asks the serpent in the heart of the single man ?
They sat on the brick stairs…a brick lane.. just sitting there.. both of them…smiling..speaking a foreign language…
The bus came…she stood up…he kissed her forehead…she smiled…went up the 2 steps of the bus..swiped her card…sat on a seat behind the driver…waved goodbye and vanished from the scene with her grocery into somewhere…your guess is as good as mine.

A sadness that envelopes you in deep bleak thoughts of demise, depression and diseases. A shroud in noir.. a dakar noir.. an African noir; a black hole from a tune.
For a second there , she made him forget the horror of death. He is an embalmer and she is his perfect victim.
