Moments of softness   
           and lying in bed
                        my leg draped over yours
                                       a side eye smile
                                                      hand on your thigh
                                      and the softness in a moment
                       on this rainy day cut short
           flights leaving the city at night
Left here in all this softness blank
           there are connections
                       that are so momentary
                                      but still so soft
                                                      that creep on my mind
                                      a defining feeling
                       of reuniting with forgotten love
           how right soft moments can be
The kind we fall in love with
           there is no bleakness
                       in being soft
                                      to speak with the body
                                                      to intertwine who we are
                                      there are things we avoid
                       to let our moment simmer
           in the near-heavens untouched
Like the soft moment
           now untouched far away
                       walking out my door
                                     my name on your mouth
                                                     left softly with me.
