It was just a gift of time
that brought openness
to the affair
There were good words
There was peace
then alcohol and mock anger
After a cup of sweet coffee
a rough good good bye

I FONDLED THE FRINGES OF YOUR JACKET
YOU FINGERED THE FRINGES OF MYÂ MIND
Soft urine color on your coat
Brine taste on the lips
Magic to the senses and thoughts
The wind
The clouds
A field in view
The window in time will shatter
But not your love or sullen mind
