window_beads
laurah since yesterday i keep glancing at my left elbow
your two fingers tracing circles in my skin...
the familiar darkened room
window beads, headlights flung across the wall
our hands moving slowly in that awkward mothlike should-i-hold-you dance
until they settled cupped together
like two seashells.

Mind, all of this was hidden by your profile
by your bent denimed knee and your long inkstain hair
from the three babbling classmates to our right.
