[deiformity]

uh oh! craving a kiss again, a fitful sleep,

a fistful of hair and a chance at something softer

chase it down down down

with a drink at a party standing across the room from you

i draw a face on a balloon, float it across to you

you catch it, we lock eyes

i mime kissing with my hands, and you nod very seriously

as you make out in earnest with a sharpie face, i wonder what kind of foreplay this is

the kind that leads nowhere, exchanging rueful smiles

we don't let our hands linger too long

and maybe i'll see you in the new year, then again maybe not

oh no, with the drinks in me i can never quite tell

if the hands i raise are to slap you or pull you closer

you promise you don't mind, another smile

i know that you don't, and when you do

it's empty promises that we'll meet again

back to the party again, conversations engaged

i sing along until my voice gives out

and you're running to catch the last bus

the balloons sliding softly along the ground in your wake
