A Love Affair in Miniature
1.
I
am
a
lake,
unrippled.
Her
touch—
a
leaf
that
falls upon
such
calm.
2.
I
draw green blinds
across
the moon,
on
river sounds
as
delicate as breath…
And
she becomes
the
hands and lips
of
silence.
3.
Snowflakes
light
as birds’ feet
on
the glass,
her
four rings
on
the table,
and
my ticking watch
beside
them.
4.
I
dream of kites,
I
touch their shadows…
And
in the morning,
when
we kiss,
her
taste
is
on my lips.
