Street Love
“I am excited Yes, and afraid to be in her presence In the faraway next room there are sounds “Melissa’s watching some kiddie program,”
Junice says. “I bribed her to waste her mind.”
We are dancers, she with bare feet And dangling bracelets, the native child Burned by the copper sun I am the explorer Discovering that there are two Sides to the ocean “Damien, what are you thinking?” she asked.
“I am thinking that I am not thinking.
What are you thinking?”
“I am thinking that I am thinking too muc...h,”
she said.
“Is that good or bad?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” she said, freezing the thought I stood and put my arms around her She put her head against my chest In the long moment that followed It was impossible to breathe Too difficult to speak We were rapt in each other For a handful of heartbeats Until, embarrassed, she pushed me away We had shared more Than we knew possible Then I was standing, jacket in hand, at the door Awkwardly we faced and wondered if Could Would turn to Yes, her fingertips kissed My face.MoreLess
