You were peering into reams of light
lost in the colour of thoughts
Your musings pooling on the trampoline
briefly stirred by a passing breeze

A fleeting foot… soft and clammy …
presses its toes against mine
in quiet communion whispered by capillaries 

If affection is measured in the weight of small feet,
then I must be very loved.
