FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

tonight, when you are ready,
for love's next episode, let us dance the samba
on the veranda,
we'll have a few drinks, cognac or vodka, or
a lot of bloodier mary's
and we will talk softly
under the moon, and i'll be a little bit
naughtier, asking you if
if you need more screws,
or oiling, and you'd be more witty,
asking if i'd be one love machine
without need of a rewinding,
but i will be quick to hold your hand
kiss your fingers,
and ask you to dance the samba with
me again, under the moon,
our bodies, getting closer, feeling
more the warmth that the night
wants to deny us,
tonight, we'll finally put off the candle
and love
the sweat of darkness again
for the second episode
of this
love triangle.

oh forget it, we can manage somehow
just the two of us now,
writing love on a brand new slate
in bed.
