I still get to say I kissed you today
You are all I want.
Her hands ran though the weeds,
That were sewn to the river’s
Careless ripple
Releasing the grip
Of her gold, wedding band.Her final act
Of silent protest.
These hands should be breaking
The chances of words
And the err of ear.
Fingers that should grasp with hunger,
Dance instead,
Drunk,
With fear.
I can read you better than any poem.
When you fall asleep
I see your dream in our touching fingertips.
