at 8 in the evening  
we dine al fresco  
his soft brown fingers  
longer than dreams of touching them    
feed me artichoke hearts with lemon butter    

he passes me a look of sweet hunger
a paint brush
loaded with yellow  

…paint now he says
leaning back in his chair
legs crossed
indulgence filled snifter in hand


I become a watcher
feasting on my own life  
wrapped in joypain
unsure how this pleasure belongs to me
as my hand lifts brush
and I paint

poems

on the wall of him

And, in the distance...a coyote....stirred
by the words that so easily consumed her..
howls again, again and again...wishing he
were being painted too...

fascinating 'write!'

I LOVE:  "wrapped in joypain(!)"

[kinda' sums-it-all-up for me...in terms of
  the effect of caring about anyone...like
  'random acts of kindness'...all such feelings
  seldom go unpunished]

serious applause for this penning!!
