"gifts


I gave you for your fingers

thick warm strong steady,

fine leather gloves size 9

soft, flexible, on sale

inky black like a starlet’s red lips,

a robin’s path of sturdy stitching,

the cashmere lining- a baby’s cuddle,

to keep you warm

in the Chicago wind

the Jerusalem snow

my icy heart

I baked you a honey cake

a plum crumble

some carrot muffins,

for your sweet tooth

and tricky fingers

to dispel your frown

slow your pace

soothe my night terrors"
