A Husband Knows

I have learned to understand
the coded message of her back.
My eyes track her line,
the curve of spine
the sense of taut
or slack
that goes to shoulders
raised or down-
a jut of hip to either side-
I know this look!
This is a book I know by heart.
She wants a kiss
to start her day, (I read);
I should hold her.
She needs to know I heard
every word she never told me.

Ahhh . . . Yes, yes indeed, her movements and the look in her eyes, tells us much.

Lori, I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! I was thinking of my dad and how he always seemed to study mom's posture at the sink or the stove and how he would zoom in and give her kisses when she needed them even though he couldn't see her face.

That feeling of wanting to be loved, and you're not sure, is so hard. Love is nothing if it is not reciprocated; just a game of blind man's bluff.

Body language. Most women are easy to read, when you can see them. I guess I should have said: women are easier to understand when eyes are utilized. Something like that.

Enjoyed!

T. Graham Browne calls her a "Brilliant Conversationalist", but I know her real name. Thanks for bringing it up Constance. When words just won't do, let your walk'n do your talkin'.

Perfect. Hit the nail on the head.

And....

Don't ask. Just do.

Well done, Constance, much truth here.
