I've
Waited All Week
by Halli Villegas
I want to hang out of the
window with confetti in my hair,
drink too much, dance close to
you until we both feel like falling down.
Sheer black stockings with a seam
up the back and a red dress to wear,
that's all I need tonight. You
call the taxi to take us downtown.
In the taxi when I run my
hand across the front of your brown
neatly pressed pants, I know you
will touch my breasts and quietly swear
Ask the driver to turn up the music
while we're fooling around.
I want to hang out of the window
with confetti in my hair.
The
city's lights are like leftover stars pasted any old where
people's voices, sirens and the
streetcar mingle to form a sound
that echoes the thrill when I look
over and see you there.
Drink too much, dance close to
you until we both feel like falling down
is my plan for the evening.
Right now I feel so tightly wound
I need to stop here in the street
to kiss, again, again on the stair.
All day I wanted you, so I went
out shopping and found
sheer black stockings with a seam
up the back and a red dress to wear.
Eyes closed, hips touching,
we've danced like lovers having their first
affair,
We clung so close your sweat soaked
through the front of my brand new red
gown.
Kissed on the dance floor while
others were watching and just didn't care.
That's all I need tonight.
you call the taxi to take us downtown
for one last drink before calling
it quits. Then we'll start homeward bound
and inthe taxi dark i will
taste you drying on my skin. Blare
on city, I am lost in my lover's
mouth and in silence drown.
Roll down the glass to catch the
last breath of this night's passion drunk
air.
I want to hang out of the
window.
