perhaps the purple

perhaps the purple
hyacinth you brought to the
house was a gesture,

was you seeking forgiveness –
is me, more wishful thinking

there is a lack of
signage in all the familiar
places – we make do,

gesturing, pointing, naming,
tracing, making temporal friends

most days, it’s a strict
toleration, when no big
nor small gestures can

indicate otherwise – somewhere
between stillness and stalemate

we are all
a gesture away
from bringing
one another
closer –
yes,
just like this

happiness is
painted in
shades of
recognition –
a familiar
sound, distinct
properties at
the tip of the
tongue, a

in this part of the

in this part of the
country, the sun
unfurls a heated
wet blanket, an
oshibori of sorts,
as a gesture of
summer’s arrival.

i have lost
count the times
i’ve had to

semblance of
a friendly

you’ve understood

to these frozen
sculpted things,
the more we find
them abandoning
shape, losing
meaning
right between
our frost-
nipped hands
