An Adaptation of a (Love?) Poem

Hey, baby

sing me a tongue lullaby

I’ll dance for you if you would like that.

Twirling along the lilt of your sounds

as you utter them syllable by syllable.

I find you in the darkness created

by the infinity of

whatever it is we feel and you sweep me

off my feet—literally—and fly with me

away inside the music you created.

 

By then it’s only you and me,

although it has been all along

and it’s your body

and it’s nobody; my body

Entwined in the kasbahs of eternity.
