one sharpened pencil point.
one unfathomed dress.
a million notes on your fingers.
three cloves of garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil in a silver pan.
ten shades of blue-gray under a desert sun (your eyes).
five perfect oils, purified and distilled.
eleven thoughts of memory.
six empty brown glasses of I.P.A.
fifteen lives before.
two, or maybe three, ahead.
fifty-thousand times you kissed me.
