Be You

The Nearness of You  Ruben Studdard

 

red velvet

 

Friday

 

in an hour’s time

perhaps two

pour un mari

soon

is he you?

 

my whole essence

approaching presence

night on the town

blustery

manteau

 

— quelle direction?

— pour deux.

avion?

— pour vous.

 

table set

lights dim

menu complet.

memory

light winds

 

un instant

for recognition

for he

who is in another’s place

 

— hemlock

— hemlock

for now red

forbidden fruits

 

we’re catching up

light conversation

— leave room

fleeting thoughts

hazy view

 

page two

 

lane switches

northbound

blood coursing

inundated

 

feeling free

inebriated

third exit

rendezvous

running through

 

appearance kept

for feet swept

liquid courage

piercing you.

 

no more withholding

sudden urges

passion surging

hidden passage

feet turning

 

your inhibitions

your admissions

open palms

risky business

no qualms

 

the room’s spinning

you grinning

fill a void

future hinting

no misgivings

Closing
