Timing.
Today,
the ice-cream van pulled up outside,
Yankee
doodle jingle, driver smiling,
white
jacket with cherry on hat.
Two
below; not a child in sight,
I
know times are tough,
But
fuck that!
Trust.
Today,
we spent four hours in the garden
sawing
timber to keep out the cold
of
winter, that's a must,
Four
hours with saw teeth as close
to
her fingers as a kiss,
Superlatives
not my forte
Never,
have I seen such trust.
Generosity.
Today,
I said to Gerry, “I must go some place
and
you can see I'm covered in dirt”,
Gerry
wouldn't give me
his
bar of soap;
Instead
he gave me his shirt.
Warmth.
Today,
we rekindled two fires,
one
in the grate,
one
in the heart,
Each
glow, still more than an ember,
The
cold might keep us apart.
Little incidents from today.
I liked that, especially Warmth!

Warmth is, and has been known to you, and by you, that much is obvious. We thank you for the kindness of your comment and trust that you will always luxuriate in that same 'warmth.' Regards, P+P.
