happened to meet
fingers extending a welcome
household of tired gods
the table, drinks
then morning.
Birds, coffee, the paper
affirmed you
my hand on your hip
my hand on your breast
my hand on your heart.

Tim, Another fine poem--but I think the credit note is to an earlier post "Men at Sea"--which of course is featured today on the BooksellersNZ site.:)
Thanks, Helen! I knew my reliance on copy-and-paste would catch up with me eventually. Now fixed...
Love it Tim!
Nice poem Tim,short but delivered everything.
Thanks, Kathleen and Novroz!
