Eternal Love
Forever is a word lovers use before the bill arrives.
Under a New Orleans moon, forever is pronounced before the jazz stops and the practical world returns.
Cobblestones remember footsteps. Magnolia remembers heat. Kisses remember appetite — not eternity.
French Quarter dark is good for making promises the morning will audit.
Eternal is a costume word. What lasts longer is the habit of returning after the fight, or the habit of not.
The music stops. The promise stays unpaid.
