    Lying there in the afterglow

    She asks him,
    "what are you thinking?"

    Perhaps she wants to
    hear about his past,
    and him staggering
    across concrete lots
    searching for neon

    or maybe she wants to know
    of the strange loneliness of
    the present,
    filled with legs, arms,
    torsos gripped together.


    (She is right to ask).

    We do not have long

    a night...a day...
