Thank You.

Maybe a hand-held mirror would change the game-
because you never really know how you look when you walk away.

Your head: drawn forward in refuge or shame
Your hands: wringing a prayer that's incomplete
Your hips: deprived of a thrust you may never feel again.
Your shoulders: carrying the burden of defeat

For me, I know that secret record has remained-

In my wrists: gripped by yearning
On my hip: kissed with prospect
In my mouth: tasted by someone I wish were true

And it's all stayed so clear in my memory-
For once again it's you.
