Rendezvous

by James C. Morehead

 

meet me on the stairwell

                                   the other side of closed doors

beneath the neon city's glow

 

i wait breathlessly

                         for steam from the door

in dim yellow light

making fairy tale shadows

with calloused hands

 

leaving

you seem to ask

                        "would you care to join me

                         for a drink?"

i follow

delaying awhile while you cross the street

hesitant when you seem to turn

buy a paper at the corner

                                    as you tie your shoe

 

are we here?

yes

it is beautiful

                   your roses

and china dolls in darkness

                                       silent and sleeping

like     you

 

your room

a plush scene of flying geese

                                          across your bed

across you

where i lay my hands

so coarse

along smooth pink sheets

along you

 

is it time to go?

yes

it has been

 

nice

 

and thank you
