she leans forward
and kisses him
soft as her skin
in the shower earlier
their glow still fresh
all things possible
divorce for example
when this moment
gets forgotten
and there's the tragedy
not the divorce
but the forgetting
let nothing negate
the kiss at Starbucks
it matters it counts
and without it
in a zero-sum universe
the balance of the world
tips askew
you must horde the good
moments in memory
despite everything
--Charles Deemer
