Red sign hums midnight. Keys clack; door swings. Faded ship print; soft lamplight. Your laugh strikes flint. You kick off that jacket; I miss three beats. Rain drums the window; our nerves find seats. Coat drops; breath slows. You grin. I know. velvet motel stay, don’t tell Minibar—two sodas. Curtains glow gold. You trace fog halos on clear, cold glass. You say, keep it tender; I tune the room low. You slide to bedside; we learn the slow. Pulse ticks; lights dim. Say yes, not when. One truth, no spin: you want; I’m in. velvet motel stay, don’t tell— red sign still humming, rain keeps the bell.

Red sign hums midnight Keys clack, door swings Cheap art, soft lamplight Your laugh sparks things You kick off that jacket I miss three heartbeats Rain drums the window Our nerves find seats Coat drops, breath slows You grin, I know velvet motel stay, don’t tell Mini bar, two sodas Curtains glow gold You trace fog halos On cold, clear cold You say keep it tender I tune the room low You slide to the bedside We learn the slow Pulse clicks, lights dim Say yes, not when velvet motel stay, don’t tell One truth, no spin You want, I’m in velvet motel stay, don’t tell velvet motel stay, don’t tell
