Ecstasy
Huesque Foster
With fond sentiment
I recall with selective detail
One dimly lit
Night, outside some bottle store
When for the first time I
Felt something different because you
Confessed your feelings as
The wind froze our skin
While my head burned intensely when
The streets were deserted and
Filled with amorphous
Dins as internally I rejoiced
When you let your
Cheek touch mine causing the
Houses and shops
To become floppy squares and
Moving colours.
I’m missing some details,
But I recall the rest. The sun
Flashed us awake. We
Greeted as friends, and you
Still, greet me as a friend.
