little NYC hotel on 23rd street (1980s)
our little
leo house hotel
on 23rd street
was operated by Sisters of St. Agnes
an old time hotel
an elevator with
brass scissor gates
operated by a nun
separate hot
and cold faucets
a bath/ shower/bath
clad in white subway tile
a crucifix over our bed
spied on our lovemaking
blessing our union
morning came
windows opened
magic sounds of the city
people chattering in the street
sirens, buses
horns honking
I slipped out to the street
for an early cup of coffee
to wake us up
the sisters prepared
a fabulous breakfast
bacon and eggs
fresh squeezed orange juice
pancakes, yogurt, homemade toast
and piping hot coffee
sadly the weekend had to end
an incredible few days
celebrated
by lovers of art
new york city
and each other

Same comment as Keith. I feel as though I am back there! What a place! (First visit 1981).
