I wonder  when it came to this

when the crinckle in your eyes

when we made love

became a squint

to see

who

I

was

and if

I even knew

when we made love

that the crinckle in your eyes

...was the cradle of a tear?

Good poetry. Thanks for blowing off the haiku, or we wouldn't have this stunning piece.

Thanks folks. It is good for me to have an assignment like these Thursday poems otherwise I just run blog ideas around in my head all day and never do it. I always appreciate it when you stop by and give it a read. Thanks again.
