something is going to happen soon.
i wait for it on the street corner,
smoking cigarettes. trying to blow
smoke rings. letting my fingers go numb.
it's funny how aware i become of you
when i know you're going to kiss me.
without touching me or looking
in my direction, i feel your presence.
and you know - the way you bite my upper lip?
and how i feel about the way your hands look
when you rub your cheek
and your gold ring glints in the moonlight?
well, anyway.
when i think of you i kiss
the skin on the palm of my hand
and i pretend it's a kiss from you,
a kiss to keep.
something is going to happen soon.
i am waiting for it, on my street corner.
i am watching the white moon grow and fatten,
letting my fingers go numb.
