Late train, streetlight honey. You grin, I play dumb. Red nail taps my phone face; your laugh unbuttons me. You say, pick something tender. I nod, then I hum. Close booth, low-lit halo. Words lean, heat grows slow. You test all my edges. I move where you pull. stay for now show me how Chipped cup, cherry lipstick. Snow ghosts on the glass. You trace rings in water; time learns not to pass. You say, no neat answers. I smile—let that last. Thumb drums on the table. Heart lands two and four. Your name rings like a cymbal. I order one more. stay for now show me how No mask tonight. Say wrong, say right. The board swallows letters, the train yawns its door— stay for now, show me how.

Late train, streetlight honey You grin, I play dumb Red nail taps my phone face Your laugh makes me come You say, pick something tender I nod, then I hum Close booth, low-lit halo Words lean, heat grows slow You test all my edges I move where you go stay for now show me how Chipped cup, cherry lipstick Snow ghosts on the glass You trace rings in water Time learns not to pass You say, no neat answers I smile, let that last Thumb drum on the table Heart lands two and four Your name rings like cymbal I ache for one more stay for now show me how No mask tonight Say wrong, say right stay for now show me how stay for now show me how
