Counterparts entangled on a Tuesday afternoon


She walks
like she always knows where she is going

and then she smiles
stops
it is as if time pauses and their hearts
can only beat if their
bodies
t o u c h

as they talk about the weather
in the black leather sofa

he probably hates the way her
pink nailpolish is worn down
and how she speaks
in sentences of archaic words

and she
certainly cannot stand
the way he never irons his shirts

yet their bodies breath as one
it seems
beauty
in her smile

Also: The title is wonderful, and the second stanza's flight of fancy is as apt as it is original.

This is a very touching and lifelike evocation of intimacy.

Your unique style has its own flavor which is very refreshing. I enjoyed reading two of your poems so far and will read more as time permits. : ) kathy
