(inspired by an abstract painting by Icelander, Bergur Thorberg)
Not what’s there, but what’s felt
between the lines, outside them.
The two, married perhaps,
at their early coffee.
She in nightclothes, bare
breast sleepily peeking out.
Is she angry, head turned away?
Well-suited for work, he bends
in tans and grays, to the morning kiss –
halo that floats
them through the day – its disappointments –
the line that still holds them.
