Three
One
“Her face shows the great
compassion and tenderness
she feels for this miserable boy.”
Tea and Sympathy
Robert Anderson
You smiled gently
at gesture,
you smiled psalms
waiting until
the empowering moment
of release,
while laughing,
to raise my free
hand to your
consummate
blouse.
Separated.
A blouse liberally
opened, accepting.
Flexing.
A benevolent child’s
gift of sufferance.
Sighing.
Years from now
when you talk,
and you will,
be kind.
Bare.
Revealing.
Truths pressure
in one palm.
Two
Years after the first
I found you
your legs up,
cares flowing down
spine,
hair,
grace,
mind,
soft
muscle.
We joke
and parody,
yawn,
howl,
until the field
of pleasure
lay barren.
Three
Lilies cup rain
fall from bitter
roots of water
where we both stood,
in one another eyes.

Jamie, a work of grace and eloquence, very impressive in expression and wordplay. Looking forward to reading more of your work. Well done.
Thank you Tony. “Three” is one of those poems I have been changing around for years and never feel comfortable with. I appreciate your gracious words especially with this one.
