Love came on a bullet train
the ride was fast
the price was high
as you can get
back then when muscles
ripped through satin sheets
blinded by smoke and sweat
washed up seaweed
onto sand
like a shelter dog
waiting to be loved again
Love came
On the mid life train
hard to resist
oven roasted crisp
inside a flash dance moment
sugar cube words
coating my tongue
that too came and went
like a shelter dog
waiting to be loved again
