For Keeru

I meet this girl who is a friend of a friend and every time I bump into her-at KPN or the Jazz event she promotes at Alliance Francaise there is something that stands out. It bugs me so much that the day I get it I get to the house and grabbing a pen jot this down. I've always wondered how people who do not have dramatically expressive facial features express love: hence the ending. She made a for a good muse.

With this one,

There is no flickering of lashes-

Or furrowing of brows;

You will see no-

Curled or contorted lips;

Flared nostrils.

She has the perfect poker blush.

With this one,

Listen like a blind man,

To subtle lilts,

Swings in melody,

Coarse, harsh breaks and cracks-

Of pain massaged.

And if you press your ear long enough,

You will hear love sighing
