25

a glowing
red cross
becons us
to a virgin travel
together

24

a mightmare
recurrent terror
my deepest fear
that is to hear
you want me no more

23

no,
not yet-
not so triflingly
let go this moment
it won't happen again

22

at midnight
at a family restaurant
you stole my lip
as if you dare to
take marital vows

21st

"sharing is
the most beautiful thing
in the whole wide world"
I say as I steal your chocolate cake
to see the most beautiful smile of yours

19th & 20th

19
a small talk
over supper
makes a half glass of
everyday wine
taste first-class

20
intoxicated
after supper
wondering if
it is the wine
or the spoons

18th

absorbing the energy
from the sun
through the stretching arms
to warm up
our coldest night
