Dinner done, and the cabernet.
Now in play
mid-table, familiar pressing
caressing,
cherished touch,
and such
not too little or much—
a well-worn, traveled affection,
a years' long, new intersection.
Now in play: caressing and such.

Nice rhythm in this poem. Great to read aloud, the way all poems should be read.
