But for the light they hold onto

We share breath

As we swallow

Our Sunday exhalations

And the comic book news we

Spill over coffee 

viewing the Sunrise under clouds 

that you insist

Are pelicans, when I almost

Certainly would have named them

Jim or Gord 

After certain poets I have known,


Not for the shapes we observe

But for the light they hold onto,

The reflection of your eyes in 

The wine stem glass

Between thumb and forefinger,

Eyes interlocked as our

little fingers twist

the shape of promise.
