Celia Seaton - Bacchanal!

“Boy bring de wine
Doan waste my time
Come test my wine
I dare you
I dare you”
Should I?
Not sure if you’re different from the others
Traumatized
Scared of revisiting the past
Sweat running down my spine
You breathing heavily on the back of my neck
Wukkup psycho on my shorts
Glitter on my body
And you meeting every move of my body with your….
We dance
Gyrate
In tune
Bacchanal!
“Are we gonna keep doing this
Once a year
Every year? ”
“I dunno
I kinda like it that way”
“We could do it once a week
Twice maybe? ”
You would not let go.
“Waaaait for me
I neeeed youuuu”
And so we danced in sync
And sang every word of every
Soca song
Together
I love you
I’m scared
There’s a lot to be learned
We have a lot in common
I’ll sit this one out till next year again
“Carnival I love youuu
And I know dat yuh luv me toooo
OOOh you nice! An if ya wine on me like dat
Den I in paradise! ”
