I keep and try

I stroke your letters

Your painted toenail hue


I mull over

Your scarlet silver blue


I imagine your thigh

Your touch a little further through


I reassemble your ankle

To fit the boot or shoe


I attend all of the lectures

Hoping for a mirage of you


I catch your eye

Your picture on my wall


I weep and cry

Unable with fair heart to fall


I keep and try

Your memos filed to call


I travel far away

With your love’s wherewithal


To ignominiously

Stumble and stall
