Where is it
the softness you
promised?
Behind your ear?
In your smile or
on the soles of your
feet?
It was inferred
gently
in the measure
of your words
& touch
And strangely in your
anger
Where is the softness
I sensed
in the half-smile meeting
or did you wrap
it tightly
in your brittle shell
of skin?
