They trickle down my cheekbone
The soft tips of fingers
Rolling gently to knuckles
A caress
So soft
Full with feeling
One gesture
Flutters in my belly
Heart melts a little
Smile cracks a little
Breath catches a little
Expression dips
Into energy
Eyes stutter
Giggle eclodes
A simple kiss
On the cheek
What?
It could happen still
Maybe
Those songs on the radio
Pounding in your chest
As you drive home
Lost in thought
And in traffic
Toe tapping the gas pedal
In time with the jam
On the radio
In the street
Of your heart
Impervious to
Other drivers
Some with windows
Darkly shadowed
Others grimmaced
With the drive ahead
While your car pulses
With a beat of most liked songs
Singing to notes that ripple
Memory
Recalling when
Moments
Like a fingertip
A touch
Soaked a heart
Worn with time
In an extra beat
It never saw coming
