In One Night

Time counts in between 
so you shield your eyes
from the sun coming in.
Will you dance with me?
Here on an empty field
we come super close together,
you and your tiny frame
folded neatly in my pocket.
We step as the music starts
you whisper our forbidden secret
using our favored trigger words.
Careful to keep perfect rhythm
the world softly spins,
alone against the tepid sky
you spin from extended arm
soft shoulders flex hard,
we push the want forward
there in each other’s arms
we live an entire life
in one night.
