Last Night |
by Stephen E. Jordan, II |
Last night, love was made
Repeatedly in 2/4, ¾, and 4/4 time.
Quarter notes
Compounded my single-syllabled sonnets
A sax serenaded my
insides so all my participles
no longer dangled.
Moist lips upon a reed
hit notes higher than extacy would take me.
and when singing!—
The voice was honey—
Drip,
drop,
dripping
down
my
lips
Down my treble clef like a .dotted quarter note,
Creating an 18-sectioned haiku.
And as moonlight shone,
We kept composed
Under the darkness of our own skin.
