The Nocturnals
|
Your lipstick glows in the dark or it seems to by the light of the t.v. screen or maybe I just want to see your lips and I’m lighting them up by the power of my mind.
In the dark places I want to kiss you. I want to run my fingers through your hair long after the national anthem on the CBC. Let’s fall into it, a nocturne for two with a television remote. Destination: infomercial nirvana. Let’s count wonderful facial hair removal systems with a tactile examination of the contours of each other’s faces and number the pills to prolong sexual endurance with some sexual endurance of our own. Let’s fall asleep to the bright bars of color of an ever-whining test pattern that gives way at dawn to the early morning news.
Let’s go to it, the daylight is fleeting and I’m debating how much coffee I need to brew.
