Return to Sender
We speak in cross-
word puzzle looks.
Give each other
mixed messages
addressed to Me,
You, Her, Him…
Everything is in
glowing icon green;
All hovering in a side-
long glint of interest
that disperses on
the touch of a hand
that is a second too
familiar. I silently
cross my heart,
holding the seams
of my loyalty,
Praying they don’t
fall apart.
My fav of the evening…
