aluminum chairs  
on the evening of that building  
sun dropped over rooftops
lower east side
blue and green awnings folded    
setting colors played
tricks on dirty windows  
old men
young boys
in payiss
strolled  
in that space    
before the sun left  
and evening became sabbath

we spoke theology  
my demon love  
and I
my hand smoothed golden hairs
under cambric shirt  
he licked tips of my fingers  
looking at them in waning light
his kiss lay on my lips
flickered
the eternal third star

are you christian
in the baptist sense
I asked

his smile thrilled

yes
I would select christian
for without such
there is no sin

I looked at the title and thought "what in the world?" and then saw it was by you...

I knew I would not be disappointed
