Six Months Ago
couple #1: east side
shoulders brushing
hands intertwined beneath table cloth
couple #2: west side
retrieving unwanted mushrooms from sides of plate
pinky sliding across inside of elbow
couple #3: south side
sidelong glances hidden within private jokes
warm hand resting on bulging belly
me: due north
shivering
wandering
alone
Today
me: due north
found an igloo built for me
a compelling diamond in the light
inside, thick furs and red candles
new songs and ridiculous laughter
a mitted hand within mine own
