--put your arm in the air--
she persuaded him
while he laughed
in her midnight glow
--okay--
he nodded
as her mood flickered
between
purple apathy
and pink indifference
so he lifted his hand above his head
and wiggled his silly fingers
in curious anticipation
--now close your eyes for a sec--
she urged him
as he shut them
with childlike expectation
until the icy click of the door
extinguished the
candle
in
his
smile
