Tiramisu
by James Schwartz
Saturday night / tsunami / winter.
Top hat / tails / fine ales / hot dish.
Thank you for the shots / dinner.
Extra tiramisu / No fish.
I bask in your fine dining.
The votives / vox burn slow.
When I’m boozing and your wining.
And both in the mood for a public show.
After hours / Bistro / Kalamazoo.
Ravish upper / Lavish lower / Octaves of your voice.
While I devour your tiramisu.
With Cavafy / Poet of choice.
You keep me at your table.
The light / music gone.
You kiss me when you’re able.
As we talk on / on / on.
