I am posting a poem I wrote a few days after our first date, exactly 5 years ago.

Agnostic First Date

We didn’t kiss.  We didn’t

even touch.  I held you

at the end of a long

string. In the park, something

tectonic

like an ice floe

hedged past

while you twirled me fast between two invisible fingers.
