I don't know you Or you, me. But in passing You left me irradiated; Glowing from the outside in Suddenly and beautifully Breaking down.
In a glass lift Outside floor thirty-four You smiled. Ignited my eye And seared your happiness Into me at cellular levels. I sweat and sigh. My time is short.
You saw me then, And stroked my cheek. Kissed my bottom lip. Traced my hardness Promising fusion But offering only fallout.
We fell out into the foyer But, in the crowds I saw just one last look Over shoulder, a raunchy wink Then the city took you A million lit windows, Rain-spattered - And maybe one of them Was yours.
