Porch light, winter glitter; you smile; I play slow. Steam curls from our coffee— you hum; I shape an ‘oh’. You say, keep it tender; I nod. Let it flow. Sleeves hide shaky fingers; street hum warms our skin. Words lean close like music, a moth commas the light— I breathe; you lean in. stay so near say it clear Cheap ring, cherry fingerprint; snow freckles the glass. Boot prints write our story; time learns not to pass. You say, answers fray at the edges— I laugh; let that last. Snare snaps—nerves settle. Keys rain soft and slow. Your name rings like cymbal— I move where you go. No mask tonight— choose wrong or right. Porch light sugars the snow. stay so near say it clear
