& i always believed that i would unconsciously
fidget
with this ring on the left hand:

in airports, falling into a stupor

on boats, holding us both up in
an alcoholic twinge

in a desperate, hell-ship apartment, fighting
howling torrent at you although it would always just be

love love love

at holidays, holding our fussy infant

at the fireworks show, both hands over our
son’s eyes


or the hand of our daughter at her wedding

& now that it’s on my right hand
i find i want nothing more than you

nothing
