the singer

I watched you tonight,
you know.

your hands were wrapped around
the microphone
as if in prayer,

then, a momentary connection--
your eyes like heat
like passages to a dark place, surrounded by white light--

and your neck craned up in pleasure
lips parting slightly

and now, I'm searching for the poetic moment
the meaning of the words rushing out,

but truly, I think it is only
you.
