my rough face caressed

by Sigurdur Haraldsson

my rough face
caressed by
infant fingers

my stubble played with
by tiny hands
softer than silk

a toothless smile
and silent laughter
feasting my eyes

a wet kiss
planted on my nose
and sucked hard

in the hope of
nourishment other than
my abundant love

This brings back memories, and you had me all the way. But those last three lines really take the cake. good job on this one Sigurdur.
