when she’s in a room
I can hear her laugh
looking over 
to find that curved body
her hips
in medias res

those blue eyes finding mine
conversations just another
hurdle
to get back home

I see you

then alone
when the music flares
out in a purple-red splash
she tilts her head
eyes closed
a splay of stars behind her

i can’t ever get over
that my hands
know her body

a roadmap
that’s always
full of suprises
