Subtlety


It travels up you like a shimmering of fog.

It covers
what it can of you,
it hides you from some
aspects of the man of you –

it softens how the world
feels on your skin –
it keeps varieties of questions
you had almost asked within –

and yet, despite its ministrations, you’re agog:

entirely
beyond
all doubt,

looking,
wide-eyed,
out.
