the sky

by Olaf Korder - Leo

the sky was dark
and the clouds broke
and the rain poured down
and i fled into McDonald's
and walked past people steaming
and sat at the table of a young man
and i warmed my hands
and throat with hot coffee
and my eyes and heart
at the guy sipping coke

and i looked at his flashing teeth
biting into a burger
and i observed the chewing
of his jaws
and i saw his tongue
licking his lips
and i knew of the softness
of his body
and i wanted to stroke his hair
and skin

and i sought the depth
of his eyes
and longed for his voice

and then i took
a bite
from my applepie
and hot juice squirted
on the boy's face
and i stammered sorry
and he said
hey idiot,
look what y're doin'
