Passenger

Moonlight on the dashboard
Panel screams your
name for me
Silent fumblings for
a cigarette
Brushed your knee
itch on my neck
High tense motion
rocketting slowly, traipsing through needing's desire
evanescent complimentary
Awkward sniff, fourth gear
Driving madly sadly swerving
narrow margin
merging but not moving
Sideways subterfuge hiding safety-glass-glareing streetlamp denial
Trying not to stare
acting normal, wound up
Heartpounding desperation running
3 AM errands with you
with you with you with you
Neon distraction
truth avoiding enlightenment
Disguised ambiguity, seatbelt removed
the sound of
your breath
the words between your lips
Shivering riots
and the nape of my neck imagines
the feel of your hair
Squint to see the road
while i tremble
I'm not sweating but
your skin bathes, scent washes
Sighing instrument panel
Lights
fears
dreams
Starry sky twinkles
Driving with you
All alone
Speeding midnight
Heartwrench velocity.
