cadence of is

No need to read the following if you listen to Nora Jones sing Turn Me On.


"You've been inside a long time."

"Yes."

 "I'm nervous."

"Why?

"Three years. How long for you?A day?A week?"

He smiles in a whisper, "Longer than that," puts my face in his hands, and moves in.



Today I am grateful for a southern rhythm, for impending, for when you have to remember to breathe. For how when I think of him I want to pull my sleeves down to the ends of my fingers and bring both hands under my chin and you know you like a man when you like thinking about him and laughing with friends and by yourself about how nice that conversation was. is.
