Afterglow

Sitting with you

On the Back door step  

Laughing about how 

the headlights look like faces 

on the cars  

I make intentional finger grazes 

on the smoke we share 

hover longer than I should 

Our bodies are close

Enough to feel the hum 

of our energies syncing 

The neon glow in the sign 

You try so hard to be cool 

But I can burn you with ease 

And I laugh louder than I should 

Crickets and humidity 

with a breeze 

It feels right 

In this Light

This afterglow

What i would do 

to go back to that 

No ego 

No ghosts

No stone walls 

Just hope

And silly looking cars
