Little Love Poem<br />

You move like a scarf<br />

across a throat you<br />

across a room or eye<br />

your hand tea-cupped<br />

around your chin<br />

Help me not to tell<br />

the same story<br />

over and over knowing<br />

it's pushing<br />

forward the apologia: why<br />

I would not let you<br />

touch me<br />

then the apex:<br />

how you drove us gently<br />

off the ice and into the angel<br />

breast: That's it:<br />

you move like ice<br />

across the road<br />

each day I drive<br />

denouement: in the<br />

embalming cold since<br />

I have been alone<br />
