Unfaithful

Give me a night she said
and I will make of you
a new man
I will show you where fascinate begins
and doesn't end
and how a polka-dotted dress
can rule the world
and make of you
a true believer.

I will teach you one and twenty tricks
that will never let you sleep
electricty in new places
to make your lover
jealous
and show you
that unfaithful
is a beautiful word.

You will learn how to dance
a tango
so close and slow
that your clothes beg
to go missing
and the darkness faints
from the floor,
and how flesh decides for itself
where to meet and join
in ways
no one talks about

I will show you
what it means
to fall out of yourself
and land someplace new,
the room still spinning,
my thighs cupping your
strong parts
and holding the world up
just for you.
