Company

Come sit with me
the ghost of you
with arms of surrounding shadows

keep me company while I’m lonely.

Come dance with me
a solo dancer
whose feet I can’t keep up with

keep me company while I’m lonely.

Come kiss me
a haze a tint a smell of you
frozen lips on a fiery mouth

keep me company while I’m lonely.

If you happen to be busy
you can still sit
and dance
and kiss

(someplace else)

turns out I can be lonely on my own.
