Noon

At noon, I licked sweet white frosting from my fingertip,
having already forgotten the little grease burn, 
from earlier, on my palm.

Later on,  I will find you sitting at the glass-topped table outside,
in your favorite teak wood chair with the green cushions.
I will run the same finger through your familiar curls,

under a half-stirred sky of light and shadow.

  1. Lucent, subtle, intensely beautiful writing--with descriptions that feel like a breeze on a hot cheek, especially the half-stirred(in so many ways)sky.

  4. What's funny is I burnt my fingers on a hot coal while camping last week. It's funny how sensitive the burn site became, and I can imagine the heightened sensitivity of a burned finger through a lock of hair...
