Crazy On You

2:32am &
you bring me here with the keys to all secret spaces
in which the lights flicker dimly

& hum & when you tease,
you push me back onto
that moss-painted sofa & i take a knot of your brilliant white t-shirt
with me & pull you to top, my teeth clink perfectly against yours
& we have that delicious secret laugh, smiling bare-toothed
into one-other & when the cigarette machine in the corner short-circuits,
we slip into that hushed darkness together,

slick like the rush of sneaking into an emptied theater & in my ears
i can hear the rattle & hum, the frantic over-drive of my body
breaking out like music calling to yours, incandescent
