it takes only one finger
this tracing thing  
but it’s complicated  
pressure and depth must vary  
and we have been tracing each other for so long  

lightly I trace coonskin cap
bullfrogs
boy smell  
you trace  
tiny ocean girl
seashell hands  

I trace culvert sleeping desert boy    
trekking with grandfather  
soulflying
your quick finger traces
girl riding bareback
blackberry smile

we stroke the traces

my quiet finger finds
your first love  
I can almost feel it  
honey on your skin

fingers entwined
we trace  
young mother  
young father  
smile our eyes
bound in this worship
  
your finger traces old heart hurt
just there above my wrist
I trace melancholy  
till it clutches at my throat

fingers tracing  
softly probing lives

you trace talk to soul
your finger presses
harder
deeper
traces michael love

  this is true?
you whisper

my smile finds your face

tracing stops

Tracing stops

My heart stopped too.  
You ... make me want to gather all your poetry and put them in my treasure chest to read on rainy days.  And on sunny days.  And on quiet nights in front of the fire.  And to carry in my heart.  They are lovely.
