SHAVE by Betty Finocchiaro
TODAY, LIKE YESTERDAY
BOLD STROKES ACROSS ONE CHEEK
A FROTH OF CREAM
LATHERED JUST A MOMENT AGO
EYES MEETING IN A CLOUDY MIRROR
A SIGH AND THE POUNDING OF HEARTS
YOUNG BRIDE AND GROOM
SHE SITS QUIETLY BY
TO WATCH HIM SHAVE

ANOTHER STROKE OF TIME
THE SAME DANCE OF MOVEMENTS
GLANCES
SMILES
NO ELECTRIC RAZOR
BUT FROZEN IN TIME A RITUAL
OLDER HEARTS POUNDING
TODAY, LIKE YESTERDAY
