Making Love
By Darryl Willis
Small hands pushing buttons too large
through holes too small. The fragile fingers
could not manipulate and perform
a task of such dexterity.
And your hands, ten years older
should have been more frail; and yet
stronger, firmer as you dressed her.
What are these smells that fill the houses
of the old: the musty scent of
memories lost, the painful regret
of loosened love let go, or
the tenacity of a promise kept?
Fifty years together you lived;
weathered the storms, battled the other,
and somehow survived it all.
Now I watch you gently kiss
this familiar stranger good night;
a smile and then one final caress.
This is touching. Only someone that has gone through this would truly understand.
Love loosened love let go!
Beautiful, moving poem
yes, very touching indeed.
A lovely, sensitive, thoughtful work. I found the ending, with the oxymoronic “familiar stranger,” particularly moving.
