The bar’s busy
Your smile offers
No purchase

I don’t know enough
To fit you in any
Question

Opaque eyes
Slide
Words I didn’t make

Your cheek tenses
The stroking finger

A boat that was a tree
Glides under other trees
From above a crayon
Tracing shapes on glass

I watch the boat
I watch you
There are words
That were conversation

Now just shapes
That define glass
