Songs you can’t dance to
The cloud that covers me when
I trace the curve of your back
The blindness that overcomes me
when I see the back of your knee
The hangover I fight through
on the morning after we touch
The momentary blackout you cause
as you lean in eyes closed for a kiss
The dense fog that surrounds
when you show me your love
The deafening beat of my heart
as it is pressed onto yours
The numbing buzz of my skin
underneath your fingertips
The frantic swim to the surface
so I don’t drown in my emotion
and in our twisted tangled sheets
As I wait for you to come back
from sleep and your dreams
these all invade my head
And as with songs you can’t dance to
I am beside you listening to them
in a warm horizontal haze
