The turn of a screw

10 pm

The eyes of most young men glaze over her,

yet tonight, he takes her in, he flirts with her.

He is Stanley calling out Stella's name,

Catullus stalking Lesbia in a lusty poem.

It's crazy-sexy feeling...

11 pm

Should she lie with this man

and lie to her mate?

Flesh pressed against flesh

in the deep dark of night,

but in the harsh bright of dawn?

He tempts her with his heat,

should she open herself to him?

12 am

Too much alcohol,

too many words

without listening.

Tales tumble, rough sex

and women past.

Romance&mystery drain,

the chemistry distills.

A hook-up?

He doesn't deserve an answer.
