the day fell
like lead curtains,

you endured character
attacks,

so i’ll display
affections

in a meal i made
from scratch,

it won’t resolve work
troubles

but may let you
relax.

a trepid touch ignites ashes
on washed
skin,

like a stream
of dreams

untainted and flowing
towards no clear
ending-

to find pleasure in
the gentlest
of ripples.
