that come from deep within
the kind that are catching to anyone close

and even when you think of them now
you smile -
those are the laughs
of real old
human magic.”

fate dancing
in the rafters
as I wandered
the room
until I saw you

of happy
and sad
and old hands
in old hands
a life in a flash
and there,
in my open eyes -
was you.”
