I have seen the face
of human kindnesskindness
is the young girl
backpack strewn
on the grass
sitting
criss-cross
petting
a stray catknowing nothing
of possession
just longing to

in p a s s i n gI think we all yearn
for this sort of
transient lovenot earned, but freely given
not everlasting, but meaningful
the simplest of exchanges| l e d
