--My loft, and how
you came
over letting your coat go
as if it was your room
already! And what I was
doing there is
not clear
to me--now--nor
why I am
standing here dumb
lips shaping amazing words
that fall forth duds.
Breathless, my pulse
is doing a waltz
through this room
and very same
"bachelor apartment" air
where, O, you were.
