Given

He sees her standing there
on her own

Comes over
picks up her hand and gets caught in her smile
the depth in her eyes

For a second he believes everything he needs is here
in her hands
in her heart
in her bosom

Some days he stops with her hand
seeing the borders in her eyes

Some days he stops with her heart
sensing the discouragement in her body

One day he took everything
Because she so willingly gave it all


Today he stops before her heart
knowing that it is the only thing she cannot relinquish
- that she gives
only because he does not ask
