Pastel

Upper Turkeyfoot, January 28, 2015

  


The longer i live the more i appreciate nuance,

the subtle tone the weaker hue the softer

light upon your cheek the lighter touch.


Late January noons divide the storms,

a smudge of blended pasts becomes our now,

a mix of shadows stretches into dawn.


Give me an easy laugh a steady gaze,

your finer mind a well-turned phrase.


Give me brief relief and not the cure,

my dear the less i know the more i'm sure.
