Looking over the city
The lights winked in the distance.
We sat on the hood of his car.
I don't even remember what model,
But I remember . . .

He put his jacket . . .

And does every mother's . . .

Tracing paths with fingertips
Over familiar turns of you,
Tiny steps across your heart,
Now palm to cheek, askew,
Ah, With lashes low, I breath you in.
Reward, a smile, . . .

I remember the nights when I heard you weeping in another room.
I wanted to go to you, comfort you, but knew, it was too soon.
All those years together, promises . . .

When trouble falls soft,
Like summer rain,
There is almost a pleasure
In the strength . . .
The shelter of loving arms;
But when the storm becomes icy, cruel,
The protecter weeps, breaks,

Onyx eyes dancing around the room,
Curious, laughing, wild and untamed;
She looks up and just as soon
As she sees me everything's changed;
She becomes shy; her hand rises,
Palm out, two dimpled fingers . . .

The morning begins with a steamy cup,
In a distance, kids, laughing at a bus stop;
A morning breeze carries umbels and lavendar,
And you there smiling, carries peace;
I like how you kick . . .

Morning air was heavy on my body,
Pressing, Pressing Pain;
I could feel the impending rain.
The sun hid behind gray yesterday,
And gave in early to the night,
No stars, no light. . . .

Insignificant to others,
Never to you;
You always cared.
I miss calling
A hundred times a week,
“What do I set the oven on for cornbread?” . . .
