My One
(a dedication, 12/1985)
Silver hair and laughing lines
You snort at signs of age
and wave away norms and forms
‘give me my pipe and cappuccino,
a tale or two
of old movies and alfa romeo
and soccer too’
Acts of care
Acts of deed
behind a countenance severe
Only he who laughs along
sees laughter in your eyes that pierce
Such as you are
Simplicity, sensitivity,
sometimes to a fault
(a tinge of arrogance though)
Dear, you are only one.
