I catch the train
The Amtrak's nearly empty
Winter rain
I pull my coat close to me
Watch the passing gray
The tired lapse of day
33rd Street
It is a swirl of bodies
I push toward the east
Wonder if he's behind you
Then I'm at your door
A champagne bottle
Soon uncorked
We are a breath
A spark of life
In a city of lights
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
You say his name
A flash of black and scarlet
Silent flames
We are awash in violet
Overexposed film
Unsaid words
Withdrawn limbs
You touch my cheek
A spark so hot it stings me
Before I speak
Your legs are wrapped around me
A roaring in my ears
The sudden drop
Of years and years
We are a breath
A spark of life
In a city of lights
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
The sky is a fluting virgin
Your thighs are the moon emerging
Earth is awake
With quaking voyeur's glee
The darkness is only passing
The darkness is only passing
The earth will turn
Its face back toward the light
The light
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
Let's run tonight
