The Cuff Link

A polished link, golden bright,
though apparently
forgetfull of the correctness
of staying shut. We had not met
and yet you felt comfortable
with asking me to hold your glass
and then your purse, chained in its own right,
as you inserted your finger tips
between my pulse and starched cuff.
"There," you said, "that should do,
for tonight."

A tender reach
across proprieties...
it does quite well,
night or day...

Hi Bob

the touching intimacy of a stranger, is sometimes remembered for a long time.  Good to see you posting, I've missed you!

Thank you, ladies. You are much too kind, particularly as respects this pale offering. But again, thank you. Bob

good to see you again Sir. . .
