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.
