Candlebox's Rain

Candlebox’s “Rain”
drops in the jukebox

and it starts – steamy

a slow, sultry seduction -
you and I - writhing together
on the dance floor

until a steely metal takes over
and the neon lights in the window
begin a dance of their own
with the scent of stale beer
and cheap cigarettes

then the steel splits open
and gives birth to
something deep and bluesy

and before we know it
a new song drops in the jukebox
and our moment

our perfect moment
in time suspended

is over.
