There is a moment shared. I can see it. I can see the face and the shoes, the walls and the ceiling. There is no clock on the wall, or time in the picture. But I know it is dark out, and very still. I can see the brow of a face and I can smell the scent of him. I know a feeling. All other details are blurry or irrelevant. But I can see shoes by a table end and coats strewn on tall chairs, draped over wooden shoulders. I can see their fur and cotton duffels, their pockets’ peeking gloves; their wet buttons and damp, crisp collars. There are toes curling in stockings and nylon, a hemline just so, décolletage concealed but bare wrists on show. Vulnerable napes on necks and brow bones animating. I can see caution and worry disappear and, instead, soft cotton brushing silk. These two should never meet; now they long to be close. I can see carefully creased lines, folds, steamed, pressed and poised, fall away into a hold. I see the thought, the long thought, of a presentation of form become a thing to remove and reveal the underneath. Love is a beautiful clothed and unclothed thing.
