Saturday Night

sugar rimmed the glass
the sweetness biting my lips
where your teeth had
pressed

the night before
after rain poured against
my head knocking
my halo off

as I emptied my purse in your
chair searching for
the protection

I never found.

here I am at Magoo’s
you’re rubbing hips
hooked on your belt
my halo dangles
it doesn’t match

your shoes.

    I stumbled upon this poem, but i really like it. There is an uneasy rawness to it i find, which in my experience; those nights feel alot the the same way. Thank god it's all in the past...
    Never saw the romance other commentors did, but of course each reader reserves their own interpretation. Great job.

    Oh how I have dearly missed your wicked sense of expression and urban romanticism. very good way to address succumbing to temptation as the halo drops fom the brow to find it clashes with ones shoes anyhow.

    My favorite type of poem.

    Reevaluating past indiscretions with a sardonic point of view. I like the title but think perhaps Saturday Night Special would work better because of its many connotations, guns, quick shot, danger, etc. Favorite phrases: both have to do with the halo, first knocked off by the circumstantial rain, then dangling (like a scalp) hooked from the belt. I know the feeling, so I collected a few of my own. I have written a few lines on this subject myself. Good job!
    Return the favor?
