MITTENS

She came
with a warning label.
Tattered and tied
with rasping
twine
that you,
wearing
your best
emotional mittens
found
unfathomable
as your eyes
unwittingly
whispered
'come hither'
and
invited
her in
& to
ride
roughshod
across
your
heart.

    I was thinking about you today, wondering where you'd got to. Good to see you back, Chuck.
