slower

I see the heat of streetlights in your eyes  
there is sulfur involved  
snowflakes swirl in lumination orange and blue  
you in your long black coat  
hiding your military dress of antique brass buttons and navy blue in all its darkness  
Remember that limousine we rode in  
do you  
It was only hours ago  

I remember the year when we met under the sky  
and the only light was the sun  
too bright for competition  and yet you were brighter  
and for those moments so was I  
We never sat down in limos then  
when we could run or lie together  
Our bodies were faster than thought  
We made so much and said so little  

only hours ago we sat and spoke

our last words  

we talked too much for years too many  
without the old meaning of it
we said goodbye
