You hardly notice do you
the little sprite
who comes along behind you
erasing everything
all your failures
all the complicating little details
all your successes—
(things that something in you
works so hard to remember)—
rubbing them out with a silent little eraser
until there’s nothing
but this moment
and a great, deep affection
coming from somewhere unseen
a living breathing cherishment
holding you
