We Make A Pocket
For National Poetry Month #20
hand nestles within mine
we make a pocket
we make a life
we have logged
years
of raising children
of making music
of work
of disappointment
of bad jokes
and countless cups of coffee
together
i smooth over dry skin
and recall when his hand was stronger
strong for me
we make a pocket
we make a life
