You’re lucky just to know me, she said smiling
I’m lucky just to be alive, I responded in solace
Come on and dance some more, she said pulling me behind her by my hand
She led me like a calf to slaughtered onto the dance floor and then took me into her arms like the Angel of Death
As I pulled close my melancholy turned ever so closer to joy as I let my heart linger on how lucky I really was
Kiss me, she whispered
My lips dry
My tongue reaching to wet them
I kissed her neck
and then her face
and then her lips
She squealed with excitement and as the beat of the music picked up
Like my heart
We danced
Like savages giving praise to ancient gods crying for blood
The death of my heart
Suddenly awakened
Suddenly electric
Knowing that in her arms
There
Dancing
I was alive
We were alive and in love
The long walk home
Alone under a full moon
She leaned in close and we kissed
It was a kiss that sat vibrant on my lips
Like the moonlight dancing on the water
You’re lucky to even know me, she whispered in my ear
and I only responded with
I know…
