Smile at me

A smile
destroys
devastates
crushes completely my feeble defenses,
as a wrecking ball
crushes
a thin wire fence

A slide of the eyes
un coup d'oeuil
brings an itch to the fingertips
that can only be satisfied
by contact with yours

So
a touch
the scrape of your nails at my palm
the collision of two hurrying, passing shoulders,
the whirl of dancing feet,
a waving arm

You
who has no idea
what you do to me

go back.
