When Darkness Falls

Sergio A. Ortiz

He got to my house
missing a teardrop earring
and a face full of pity.
We rubbed our lingual barbells
to the rhythm of techno pop
like journalists covering
DIFFERENT but EQUAL.
At five in the morning
he sped out of my bed
and crashed.
Night ended in tragedy.
We returned to the corner
where we did our rounds
for money and pleasure.
At the Underground Tavern
we bitched at each other,
tightened our corsets,
and felt the pain
of tucking it in..
