Lust

I recall, sleepless, the hours spent

After the rush that night, when

We were both caught up with

Each others scent and heat.

We had drinks at Club Frey,

And after, in your room,

And every time the music

Stopped in either place, we

Smiled and laughed—I remember

Your teeth, recently bleached,

When you smiled—I remember

The breeze of air that hit us

When you opened the door—

Do you remember the way

You shivered, the same way

I do? Do you remember what

You wore that night?—the green

And blue dress I said looked

Funny afterward, but we both

Agreed was nice on you—Do you

Remember tripping onto the bed,

While your blue-green dress slid

Off the edge?—I kissed your head

Before I left you sleeping, and left

My number beside your purse—

But every night you never called

Left me awake, wishing I stayed

One extra night, and I still

Regret ever meeting you for that.
