Salty smiles

By aquiouss

He holds my face with his gnarled beauty
resting like feather ghosts on my liquid streams of consciousness
while I clutch spoons and saucepans
and mix tears with sauce
in the half light

Stroking my hair
Music plays
His touch is warm
Dinner cooks
Neurons fire
A soft smile burns into the wrinkles around my mouth
where I encounter him
as my eyelashes kiss his hands
