Appetizer

Red curtains let in street lights overhanging cold untold stories
Here, on the inside, we huddle
Lackadaisically creating a mystery
Casually planning each glance and laugh

Lights twinkle and bubbles inebriate
The atmosphere is filling
With a buzzing living feeling
Intoxicating

I watch your lips closing ‘round a fig
The corners of mine curl up slow
As I wonder why I care to observe
A dried fruit beginning its degradation

The fig has been swallowed, and I stand to walk
Out of the door and away from this talk
Standing alone, below the street lights overhanging cold untold stories
