Scene from a Diner








She held the salt shaker deftly in her right hand, tilting it into her left palm until a small 

dusting of salt covered it…she then pinched her fingers on her right hand into the pile, and deftly sprinkled it 

across the food…quickly rubbing her fingers together to brush off every crystal.  He watched her 

fingers manipulate the seasoning, remembering the same way she had deftly reached behind her, as

she faced away from him and released her bra clasp, the fingers expertly releasing the hooks and 

eyes and catching the bra as it fell away from her.  He had remembered this, with the light splintering

in from the diner’s windows, as she seasoned her food in front of him and in his mind he could still 

taste the salt of her.
