luminous brown eyes … clear like pools of peace … sometimes
she’s so unused to being free with another
her eyes swim and shimmer with doubt until she remembers
that its OK to just look and be
We touch for hours … eyes and hands and feelings
until we’re no longer separate
quiet then, we say nothing…
because every part of us knows what we’ve shared
I told her a day like this, occasionally,
makes all the rest easier…and she smiled, ‘yes’
and warmed my skin.
