1
The clavicles of your chest,
the way they protruded.
2
The pause you made
before you spoke.
(And I never knew if it was nerves or deep thought.)
3
A black cardigan
half fingers protruding from long sleeves.
4
A grasp.
You didn’t laugh hard
and I liked you even though
your thoughts seemed elsewhere.
And while I was planning tickets,
you were planning to buy
a Russian wrist watch
that I never heard tick.

Reading this, I absorbed each image, exhaling deep, then at the end... Well, you've made me gasp.
That was quite a reading experience. Thank you. Cheers.
