In a way
he became me
for a moment.
If anyone happened
to present themselves to me
at that particular time -
music pulsing,
heads nodding,
bodies moving
against hot hands and chests -
I’d like to believe
he’d answer for me.
Be my voice,
speak for me
while I’m away
underneath his skin.
Be my hands;
gesture loosely
at the things he’d think I’d say.
My apologies
I am not here;
speak to the man who,
just for a moment,
has become me.
