Her expectant cordiality locked her away from you.
Where she looked
finches blossomed from the aisles.
His cigarette **** errantry froze him before you.
Where he looked
children dispersed like smoke.
Her gloved discernment hid her suppleness
like a moon in passing,
she had only to reveal a wrist.
His improvisation boredom fended off the breeze.
Where he looked
there were no women left on earth.
*
And on all these passersby,
as when one holds steady the barrel of a gun,
I have steadied my gaze.
And it is for you to know that weight.
