so we kiss

so we kiss for longer than i can stand it
there in your darkened bedroom
old 97s on the stereo
speaking in twangy tones of deepest
deep ellum
nights
but we don't hold it against them
we're too busy taking turns
pinning each other against the bars
of your antique bed
way too fucking much is said
when time would be better spent
like this
it occurs to me
as i get caught in the moment
as the moment catches me
and then i can see
your black velvet teddy on the floor
your breasts like full moons
in the dim light that sneaks
under the door
christ you're candy to me
and i taste you on my fingers
like sugar
and there's only one direction left to go
straight ahead
into the dark
to the only heaven worthwhile
under stars dancing like chinese lanterns
on fire
