good night kisses
your hand moving towards mine
asking to be held
the big bowl of rice offering that your
belly whine accepts
the fall-apart pieces
you let me hold for you
held in news unleashed on evening walks
all the "I love yous" peppered through my day like confetti pieces
thrown into the wind from high overhead
the way we sign in harmony when we know the words to the song
when I stare into the warm honey
brown of your eyes and see forever
there
