First Date

We’re old fashioned, a morning hangover, to court advantage.
I touch for arms, to feel for hairs, a nose for mane. We love
so faintly, a pair of wolves, a heart of hives. We cut a ribbon,

to kiss, to suffer heat waves. Its evening blues, and trite
clichés, to plan a call. You speak for gems, the latest Vogue,    
and filled for colors. I’m deep a flame, to see for shifts, an
angle turned gray; for city legs, and necklace necks, to flush
a soul. We perish for grand, to rise for sullen, sipping cognac.

wine, a knot of pearls, to win come favor. We walk for
mental, to channel for teal, to bind with yogis; for earth to
mystics, and heavenly jeers, to peer through countries. The
voice of hearts, to kiln a flame, adrift through sparks. I hear
for moments, a martini dry, to feel you sip. Its nape a kiss, a
thigh to grip, and fey to shift; for ship to sea, an ocean vast, to
paint a whisper. We stir for pudding, and dough to cook, to
pluck a vine; and love is life, a crevice deep, to see you smile.
