Loft party

You stood at the back, looking at the empty stage
dissolving foam on the draft beer
Is it strange? seemed like the only one who came alone?
waiting the loft to be filled

You folded your hands, put the glass on the ground
People surrounded around you, they sent texts and chatted
Under globe ceiling light the shadow shined upon wooden floor
silence comes when the light gets dark


walking on the stage, he held picks in his month
everyone froze, their eyes stayed sharp
then molecule of sound spurred the crowd
swept away, swaying to the song

then song by song, I found you in the dark
with half-closed eyes, another bottle of beer
your thoughs hidden under the straw brown bowler hat
until you caught my sight

the night we drank
the night we sang
the night we had
the night we spent
the night aligned
the night is dark
