I venerate and hold memories
That cover my hands like you did
Conforming to my flesh and warming me
A pair of gloves to stave off the cold of missing you
I taste what you left me
And I am reminded of your lips
That impressed upon me
What it means to wish
I am ardent for that seeping joy
The deep chords that your hands would play
Softly and sweetly entreating me
To desire and sing for you
I hear your voice transmitted
Missing inflections and a face
You are half realized
In this way- but
You still cover me with care
Your affection tailored to my tiny hands
Love is all encompassing
You are my definition.
