then there are no more sparkles in your eyes--
just like that, they're gone and here we are and you
have flipped the switch and turned the magic off again
and again, I'm under the spell of the sound of
your voice and your breath and the smell
of your skin that hits my nostrils in bursts
with each subtle movement of my head.
you are not like the others, and I am a wanting coward
always on my knees
always at your mercy
