Joy
That morning cheek to belly press
The coffee smile tossed gently over
The top of your reading glasses
I’ll tell you joy
*
Joy
When the chocolate covering
On that ice cream bar fractures
For the teeth just right
I’ll tell you joy
*
Joy
That walking through the door
Moment and your face is there
Pulling me warm home
I’ll tell you joy
*
Joy
Making the words carve
Me a new world on the soft
Side of a hill somewhere
I’ll tell you joy
Just told you mine
*
