“

I remember your collarbone, forming the tiniest

satellite dish in the universe, your smile

as the place where parallel lines inevitably crossed.

I remember your eyes: fifty attack dogs on a single leash,

how I once held the soft audience of your hand.

I’ve been ignored by prettier women than you,

but none who carried the heavy pitchers of silence

so far, without spilling a drop.
