Away From Work Poem by Doris Cornago

Such bliss, such ingenuity, fitting you to me
Deflecting anger from miscommunication
Squares in stack, brains rack for words
Catching repentant eyes in glancing
Scoring, carefully tracking points
Not intent on winning, losing
A glimpse of you across
We're sharing time
Away from
Work
A
Flicker
Of light in
The dark night
Your hand warm
Your words touch
My contrary doubting
Mind, but my heart holds
Fast your words promising
Protection, tucking my feet in
When left all alone, scrambling
Sails wrecked by storm, lonesome
My alter ego who best understands
Dimmest perceptions, fangs and talons
Reformed toothless angel by your adoration
