The place was heaving. I danced half-on the threadbare carpet by the bar. He watched. Deliberately and slowly - I swayed, flickered in and out with the monochrome glare. His mouth was on mine; his fingers found me wanting.
(he made sure i got home safely and called round with flowers the next day. he told me my dress was perfect, that i was beautiful. he said later - he was hooked, knew without hesitation - i was his girl)
The bedroom was drenched in shades of rust, so that sunlight licking through curtains painted our skin with flames. I ****** myself from around his knuckles; he burned too hot. I was a curling, kinking cellophane fish on his palm.
(i'd worn my white slip. he told me - if he could see my underwear, everyone could. that i dressed like a twelve year old child. we left early. he promised me later that he was only thinking of my reputation)
A fresh cut on the heel of my hand smarted against metal poles. I cadged a pinch of salt from the food-van, fed it into the wound and waited. It stung even more and kept hurting - so I licked away the grains, gnawed the wound. That worked.
(don't know if i nicked it on the strike-plate as i grabbed the door frame; or caught it on his st christopher when i put my hands in front of me. he swore later that he was only trying to hold me - stop me from leaving)

"sweet agony
of 'spoken
for' scored
in the palm
of your hands;
mount of
mercury
harbingers
to traces
of us."

May I have your hand?
Okay....
I would like to tell you
how you were made
And what these folds mean
Inside your hands
I know it sounds silly
but please listen to me
Haha okay so...
That crease right beneath your fingers
Means invincibility
The ability to ensure serenity
when encountered by enemies
the will to build
the power in your veins
strive during the worst
to prolong a better days
A creative freak
A pursuing perfectionist
Etiquette of measurements
Treasures endeavour unhesitant
And you care for it
Your strength will prevail
Take your time
And you will see
How your mind is unparrelled
Do you see it?
Can you see it smiling at you?
And that crease at the bottom
That cups your thumb
Represents your beauty
And your the rarest that they come
But you haven't realized it yet
And its frowning at you
Your potential to succeed
And the elegance you brew
Your smile is of wonders
Your eyes are a universal sunset
Gorgeously burning
But you haven't realized it yet
Do you see it?
Do you know how beautiful you are now?
And now....
Its your middle crease
That bounds your strength and elegance
With such unravelled symmetry
Now I want you to look at it
......
Stare into its shape
......
Now I will hold mines up
And if they all match
It means we are soulmates
Wow,
They look so much alike
So give me your hand
Let our fingers interlock
And our uniqueness will stand
.......
For the rest of our time
Look into your palm
One will frown and one will smile
And the middle will keep you calm
The middle is me
The reflection of your soul
And it will be there
Till our spirits are up with the nightsky glow
I want you to look at me
And repeat what I said
Because no matter where I am at
I will be in the folds in your hands
