It’s fun to sip cocktails
in the dark
at the back of a bar
where no one can see us
when our hands are
so cold
that we hold them
over a votive
sinking closer
into the leather booth
closer together

It’s fun to rest my head on your shoulder
because the cocktail is
sweet on my lips
and you have a nice smell that
I can’t quite decipher
and I let my dress
slide up
so you can rest
your hand
on my thigh
with your really long fingers

you say my small hands
will make everything look big

you say, I just love to look at you

It’s fun to kiss up against a wall
and wear lingerie
when it’s windy
and anything can happen.
