and we drove the night
moving together down Sonoran highways
sitars and tablas
AfroBrazilian congas
Milton Nascimento
and I danced with you
without asking
you were just there
with my hands feeling so light
collapsing into your long brown fingers
framing your moist dark eyes
and we drove all night
danced for the first time
with the moon
with the wind:
the sleepy desert
the lone witnesses
and when you drove
without asking
I followed
you leading with grace
both of us
moving together
down Sonoran highways
just another music
sweetening the night
