Do you remember when we kissed
in the dim bar, beneath the railway arches
that hypnotic smile you wore
the way you demanded to be held
as all hell broke loose between us
Do you remember how you took my hands
as we walked beside the rails
you thrust yourself into my grasp
pushed your body hard against mine
and stopped time
And I felt so alive
that I’d
been nowhere
seen nothing
before that night
I still think about the drunken orange skies
the red tail lights stretching on for miles
as we drifted through the sprawling city
the only heat; that which burned between us
pressing your entire being up against me
And I felt so alive
truly, I’d
been nowhere
seen nothing
before that time
I remember you so clearly
with such precise clarity
I wonder do you remember me
do you still think of me at all
Since then
I’ve been nowhere
seen nothing else…
