black pantherThe dukeenters on a night full of moon and the crowd shuffles and sways to the tides staring at each opening of the door the duke slides in through the back giving hope to girlie men from the other side but he has eyes only for the panther on stage dusky voiced and sensuous purring softly to the masses bodies mesmerized by her eyes and tempting song the duke watches and the click of cue ball on black plays a back drop song to the sounds of a blue night echoing out the door of harry's place and the panther glides across the stage disappearing into the smoke i'm left with a tune playing inside my head caressing the song the dark panther sang and tossed at me with a glance and a fleeting smile caught beneath a neon light imagination making my night right at harry's place \96 duncan
