Stone as Statue

Her toe was tapping
Like a woodpecker on speed
Tap tap tap tap
Her hands fidgeting
Flapping and fluxxing
Beneath the table
Her face as stone
As statue

His toe was attacking
Like a ninja in the night
Shift slink shift shift
Sliding up her calf
Caressingly messing
Beneath the table
His face as stone
As statue

Like Venus
Like David
This museum of the night
Their faces
Stone as statue
As Apollo takes flight
