ONE NIGHT
I DON'T ASK WHY NOR DO I CARE
AFTER YOU LEFT I THOUGHT I STARED
ROCKING CHAIR ROCK,
ON MY SHOULDER YOU LEFT ME A HAIR
THE SMELL OF YOUR BODY PERFUMES THE AIR
ALONE WITH YOU, WHEN YOU ARE NOT HERE
HOW DO I SEE THEE AS I SIT IN MY CHAIR
BLACK GROWS YOUR HAIR BOTH THICK AND SOFT
HIDING YOUR TREASURE
LIKE A ROCK WARMED BY MOSS
BLUE ARE YOUR EYES LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN
BLINKING I YAWN DARK GOES THE SCREEN
MORNING LIGHT CUTS THE AIR
SUN, IT WASHES ME
A HAIR IN HAND
MY HAND HOLDS HAIR
YOU WERE HERE
I DON'T ASK WHY
WHY YOU DID SHARE, YOUR TOUCH
YOUR SMELL, THE GIFT OF YOUR HAIR
FOR ONE NIGHT.
