You bite a peach ring I light your name slow Street hums midnight we walk where bars glow You grin, I tag in we trade the same flow Hands in coat sleeves, words fizz like warm Coke. You test my cool nerve. I laugh—air snags. say you stay oh we sway Pink gum, sweet—dare me. I lean, you say, “Go.” Key clicks. The door sighs. Boot prints in fresh snow. You hum, I find thirds, our breath scores one show. Lamp buzz, hearts drum soft. Time drips—thin white smoke. You pull my guard low. I smile, let it soak. No mask. No pose. Lean in—eyes close. The pane fogs over, the city blurs below— outside, salt on the street; inside, a stove-brick glow. say you stay oh we sway

You bite a peach ring I light your name slow Street hum says midnight We walk where bars glow You grin, I tag in We trade the same flow Hands in the coat sleeves Words roll like warm coke You test my cool nerve I laugh, then I choke say you stay oh we sway Pink gum, sweet dare me I lean, you say go Key click, door sighs wide Boot prints in fresh snow You hum, I find thirds Our breath makes one show Lamp buzz, hearts drum soft Time drips, thin white smoke You pull my guard low I smile, let it soak say you stay oh we sway No mask, no pose Lean in, eyes close say you stay oh we sway say you stay oh we sway
