match

Whilst we were watching 

the game this evening 

I noticed

you have lovely hands.

Would it be strange

if after all this time they

cupped me? if their fingertips 

pushed aside boundaries, wandered 

new territories, searched my peaks and 

crevices in the dark? Could staid love

transfigure? Can your splinters 

mesh with my steadfast clan?

The football's still on and

nobody's scored.  Perhaps

next time I'll mention more 

but tonight I just say

you have lovely hands.
