you spoke of lonely
how the windows feel
on your skin when you are there
bare on the glass
trying to make a man
open your door
and enter quickly
and stay awhile too

I had my hand over my ears
as I sat on the curb
and shook change in my pockets
wanting to use the phone
but not knowing the numbers
to your emergency
so I read your lips
when you said those words

and left the lights on too
so I could read the rest of you
even the small print
about a warrenty
and restocking fees
if I returned you
unopened or broken
and I wanted to break you

but you said you were too fragile

You enter the new year
with sensitivity...

and you wear it well.

I love the heart behind this, and the depth- and the wanting and the being there - you are a beautiful soul-

I liked the ending too - and must admit to a chuckle over the restocking fees-

Morning D- a great way to start the day, wrapped in your words -

Enjoyed this peek out of the corner of your eyes, DS~

A most fragile pondering, and then some.
