(n) a rumor or report of intimate nature
for nancy
I. on the sidewalk
A full day beyond your touch
he filled his whole body,
cherishing a discovered heirloom;
He strode a step ahead.
II. at the pool hall
He lost one distracted game,
and declined each turn
until closing time.
He was there not to play
not to be lonely
at home.
III. at the party
He wasn't thinking of music
as his fingers found his guitar.
Love songs hung in the air
with new, soft intensity.
Retreating behind his door,
he emerged with his smile
and unfocused eyes
recovered by your voice.
IV. in the restaurant
His shirt a wide river
from his shoulders
like his hair,
it’s bed his body’s curves.
I remembered your sweaters ebb
when he pushed his sleeves
above his elbows.
V.
