From Heaven
I drop pennies when we love because he'll always pick them up. Ten thousand copper Buddhas. His curse falls like a nickel. His lips taste of rice gruel and lime. With a finger he signals to me -- be quiet a moment. A year we sit like this. When I finally stand, he is asleep. I leave softly, our dancing done. |
