You stood out front at dusk
Flung your arms when you saw me
Waved through January's bite
And you called to me
Tongue slipping over syllables
Yoga-nimble
Easy
Right on the first try
Like you'd said it before, a thousand times
(Not an easy thing with my name!)
Your stretched crescent-mouth
Deepened the cartography around your eyes--
That was when I knew I loved you.
