apple pie softness
a gleam in your eye
soft gentle fingers
rest on your thigh

taut tender tightness
a chirp to your stride
an eyebrow in query
lips puckered wide

gentle impatience
(for) when will I smile?
a lean further forward
perhap to imply

I cock my eye
with a gleaming sign
you embrace in relief
that I knew all the while
