cold silvered
moon
hangs
low and
heavy
we are walking to my car.
we
pause, you turn,
pull me into your
flannel
our
warmth shared
wrap long
arms around me
hold me for
eternity
eternity crumbles
as you pull back
to see my
face
to let me see yours
streetlamp light flings
false eyelash shadows
up to your brow
your bright eyes
beautiful as always, like
stars
hold mine
a
kiss without lips
your lips touch mine
the world falls away
and zooms back again
for a final hug
"go on" you say
I break away to
the
coldness outside your arms
the coldness inside my car
ignition turns over
pulling away
you salute, i blow a kiss
"
I love you", i say
but only when you cannot
hear
