I Would Give You a Forgiving Smile
by David Garner if I saw you again
My lips would curl inward
My cheeks would slightly inflate
A quick exhalation through my nose would shoot out
My ears and temples would subtly shift
My eyes would become instantaneously glassy, un-teary, but with a sudden sheen or gloss
If I saw you again
