California Road Trip — Tatiana Stepanova

Call me out of the blue

Middle of my work time

Ask me how I am

Tell me I’m amazing and

That you miss me and

warn me to be ready at 8

no more explanations

no questions allowed

I get the tingles and energize

with this passion seed flourishing

Anticipating each possibility

Time goes by so slowly

but so pleasurably

8 comes

you arrive, smile, take my hand

put your coat in my shoulders

slide your hand down my back

and take me to your car

we drive with no destiny in sight

«where are we going?»

«dunnow, I just want to be with you»

«let’s just go»

this is it

I’m not even hungry

No other wish has been inside my heart

this whole day

we just glide trough the road

in a fulfilling warm silence
