tenderness

in profile, you were
standing in a stream of light
late morning, gazing out

I wanted to ask…where was your mind?
(your mind sends me…places);

linoleum cool, a short step to you
your flesh and grasp sparking
what I thought I’d lost

breathless, I was left
with a fleeting moment of you

and smiles to last for days
