The wind
caresses my cheek and
strokes my chin and
blows into my open smile,
wrapping itself around
my kitten's tongue.
It loves
as I love,
with playful dancing
around and around
the object of
its sweet affection--
me tonight.
I get sent on my way
with a gentle nudge
and with a smile
I acquiesce and
saunter swiftly home.
