WHERE YOUR FINGERS DID REST / YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN MINE

Your hands fit so well between mine
that my hands miss them-
between the cracks of my fingers
where yours used to be.

Between the places where so idly
your fingers did rest,
when I wasn't so busy
with kissing their tips.

Where your fingers did rest
while yours eyes met mine,
while we stared into each others'
until the sun set 'to night;

When the daystar had sunk
and then the stars had come up,
and your eyes had both closed,
but it was still your fingers, b'tween mine.
