When I'm Paying Attention

 


For whatever reason,

your body makes me hum

lightly to myself.

Between the toes that

occasionally see the light of day.

The abandoned skin, an imprinted flower

that needs fresh water.

The 5 grey hairs hiding

behind and between the rest.

The best I can do is

construct a remembered section of time

to recreate a moment

that has gathered my smiles

and protected my greed.
