LEAN

didn't that shift in
your chair just now
that change of direction
as you asked and i answered
make you think

or am i over-thinking this
that you and i could build mazes
of future contacts
that might lead back to here

on your elbows
leaning on a single arm
of the chair
your smile with your
hair framing the edges

i think i'm seeing things
or maybe just dreaming them.

tumble and twist
in elegant turns

the scarlet nights are falling

through stairwells
and dusty backporch curtains
over vinyl shades

in that apartment
the summer you got divorced
i remember

turn and toss
your hair like that again

please.
