lingering tonight in little tokyo


it’s rare to stare at what’s not there

buying her drinks was truth or dare

she took my hand, a room upstairs

i would have followed anywhere

 

her hair was black, her eyes were brown

on cotton sheets she held me down

my hands were bound by both her breasts

i brokered words as to invest

 

her index finger on my lips

then quieted by a soft kiss

neon light flashing outside

like waves upon which she did ride

 

the crest completed in a crash

upon my shore a black eyelash

was left behind for me to find

a keepsake that will now remind

of cotton sheets seared by our heat

surrendering without defeat
