He was the same as I remembered him
back when we were younger
He stole my breath the moment
We locked eyes across the room
Stayed up all night until the morning caught me
Bitching about the patriarchy
And I played coy to see how high he’d trace my inner thigh
I know he only wants a one night stand
But I’m wishing he would be my man
I know he said it wouldn’t work out and I believed it then but now it’s different
He wants a one night stand
I want a life full of nights with him
I was shy but I was drinking wine
And we were inching towards closing time
Catching up on all them lost years
Of anxiety attacks
He pulled me from my barstool,
A little tipsy
With the radio blaring “Fist City”
Lead me parking lot with his palm atop
The smallness of my back
And he was singing along to that Loretta Lynn song
I know he only wants a one night stand
But I’m wishing he would be my man
I know he said it wouldn’t work out and I believed it then but now it’s different
He wants a one night stand
I want a life full of nights with him
And maybe I’m a little naive baby
But I been ruminating on the ways love has saved me
And when I’m waking in his arms in the morning
Disarmed by the need for him that’s forming
Now we’re sitting on the front porch with coffee
He’s got a touch of cream but I drink mine black
And when I take his hand in mine, he don’t stop me
‘Cause when the timings right you take it in and don’t look back
He got a one night stand,
I got a life full of nights with him

Settle down there on the sofa, baby
Poor yourself a glass of cav-sav too
I found some Etta Baker records at a yard sale
And I wanna play ‘em for you
If I catch you humming along
Even if you’re getting the melody wrong
I still want to stay up all night long making out of tune songs with you
I know you been wearing a lot of pleasant faces lately
I’m sure your battery is low
So we don’t have to talk or even look at one another
We can keep tonight quiet and slow
But if I catch you humming along
And you bat them pretty eyelashes and yawn
Oh baby, I’m bound to just keep carrying on making out of tune songs with you
Won’t you just settle in and get cozy, darlin’
Let me rub your feet and up your legs for a few
You just breathe and let Ms. Reid’s piedmont picking
Wash away them socialite blues
And if I catch you humming along
In an oversized band tee with no makeup on
Honey, I’m gonna sit here till the break of dawn making out of tune songs with you

Rotations

Isley Dale is balanced, flexing talent on a chair
Looks at me in between locks of golden hair
Improvising wordless harmonies to all my songs
Grabs a ukulele and begins to strum along
And I know it goes fast
Everybody says that
It’s just a thing you’re supposed to say
But it’s real
And you can’t know how it feels
Until you’re well on your way
How many rotations am I gonna get with you?
To share with you the wisdom & magic spells I have accrued?
All the laughter and the longing,
Writing down or not recalling
Bad jokes & silly drawings
On any misadventure you can choose
When I’m gone, you’ll carry on & carry all that there is left of me with you
Now Isley’s in the backyard with fists of Dandelion
Mixing potions up in mason jars with mint and wild violet
Were that I could trap that laughter in a vial around my neck,
Save it for the hard times so that I could open it
‘Cause I know it goes fast
Everybody says that
It’s on every fellow parents lips
But it’s true, and it’s coming fast for you
That sweet and beautiful eclipse
And I know that you are not me
I would never ask you to be
You are more than I could honestly ever have expected to be true
But when I’m gone, you’ll carry on
& carry all that there is left of me with you
