Each bold moment - forgotten
marvels of self seen & touched
Each shy motion:
a free twitch of hip, a gasp
of just stale breath still sweet
the grip of denim thighs
light fingers measure strength of arms
challenge runandjump
across bridges fog obscured
Your knees strawberryjam stained
We a leafpile of gggles - smoldering
Kissed like light rain
Met at bussstops cloaked like spies
ignored signs -- smoking, loitering
All eye corners full of wet wonder
Made love through clothes
each taste touch a bright splash exquisite
in blank sweater filtered light
Watched old movies
blackandwhite in splendid poverty
of cold rooms Noir sharp air
You laughed & itched on filthy rugs
in strangers partystrewn houses
under my shushing grins
Room a scattered room, bodies
muffled on the floor Ashtrays
full of kissstains Bottles sunshining
halffull of gold oblivion Clear white
takeout boxes open inedible -
broken winged memories
Now smell of stale & cheap
of cigarettes & whiteboxtakeout
recall our twin cookie fortune:
Life is but a dream.
Merrily we followed eachother through
misted streets, blackcoated ghosts
