Peculiar way
in which the shade
draws up to your chest - pulled tight
the rightness of your eyes
when you catch the memory
in stride

I'm reminded of frost
and innocence
and arbitrary commentary
made on lucent observations
telling nothing
and revealing all

That self-same light
of casual brilliance that sparkles
within you and
without you

I'm a makeshift shelter
walled and winsome
borrowing moments of grace
and plaintively wringing my hands
in ingnorance
and utter awe of you
