Catalog

Every time you smile, I think

to capture it, to collect and

classify each in turn, labels

affixed to the corner of your

mouth in my memory.

How fine a catalog!

More and more, I find I enjoy

them best unnumbered & absent

definition, given no specific

scrutiny that should separate

shape from suggestion. Let me

instead witness each one anew,

wonder at discoveries,

revelation every time.
