small talk in gravy bowls
not too much flower
or thickness
more of a brim catch
hesitation

just before it gets deeper
and then we smile awkward
and pull our gloves back on
noticing how they are wrinkled
from the sweating of our palms

and sitting on our hands
in case we wanted to touch
the other's something
or even hold it for a while
pretending it was part time ours

and then you look away
just long enough for me to breathe
and take another sip of courage
from your nearly empty glass
filling my eyes again

with slow momentary persuasion

You are so clever in how you use words that I get lost - and the meaning always sweeps me the rest of the way away.
