The Dance

The dance hall had colored lights glittering in the ceiling. Clark stood by the wall feeling too young, too tall, too unsophisticated.

Lex's smile for the passing waitress was richer than his tip. His smile slid from her to Clark. He looked directly into Clark's eyes. Clark struggled to breathe normally.

"Lex? You going to dance?"

"I hope so."

"You planning to pick up a girl?"

"Is that what you want to do?" The smile shifted again, to something enigmatic, some self-mockery that Clark couldn't interpret.

"No."

Lex moved closer. "Is it what you want me to do?"

"No."

Lex shifted so their bodies almost touched. He looked up, his breath warming Clark's lips as he spoke. "Is this?"

The kiss was warm, enticing, and no illusion. The kiss was all Clark had dreamed of. "Lex?"

Lex smiled, taking both his hands. "Let's dance."

Wow! Dial up the heat like a poet

I was just writing about how much talent it takes to express so much with so few words. I was writing about Langston Hughes and how he personifies night, comments on racism, expresses repressed emotion in "Dream Variations."

You do it well.

My goodness! Langston Hughes? I love his poetry: so well-expressed and strong.

Thank you - what a generous comment.

Thank you! It's the way I like to see Clark and Lex: warm to each other.
