Times Square
Switch on
switch on once more
lights at Times Square.
Switch on for me
in my last night in New York.
The hot air in the streets is a gentle cloak
that wraps me up.
Like windmills moving and moving
don’t stop your dance.
Let my eyes get lost
again
into your
whirl
so sweet
so intoxicating.
