The Night Drinks Us In

The city’s streaming lights are 
                                                 incandescent veins,
                                you and I a runaway fizz of champagne.

                                       From gilded parlor to speakeasy 
                                                      we carom, 
                             giddy bubbles out to carbonate the still night.

                                         And the city is now sparkling,
                                             intoxicating as new love.
