Warmth
Silva Kapoutikyan
I walk lighting the street
with your fire.
You
bum too, but with hers.
I ache for, laugh with,
lean toward your words.
You bend too, but to hers.
On the inside of my dream
is your face. On the inside
of your dream is hers.
That's it. That's life.
Let's live it loving.
Let
the world turn
not remembering us,
me, with your fire,
you with
hers.
