gentleman caller
greets ladyfriend delikat;
kind lush gesturing
an awkward solace
distance process connection
let go to be near
barbara is family
'bring her in, i'll grill her good'
coarse bittersweet love
beauty image box
soundless drape shadow weight light -
birds in lucid flight
saint valentine tells
wintry envelope blankets
soon to melt and warm
hold as a vessel
composing space for what is,
for precious and plain
affection for you
like water and all its ways
current and silence
