There is no loneliness like theirs
-- Jeffrey Wright, A Blessing
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46481/a-blessing

An old scarf
worn loose
on the shoulder,
nearly falling
until her fingers
reach up to set me
straight, and
I only realize
in that tender
moment of hers
the cold air
that's been
consuming me
all this time,
my mind
so lost, so deep
in thought

A Blessing

Just off the highway to Rochester, Minnesota, Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass. They have come gladly out of the willows To welcome my friend and me.

A "Dogtrax remix" in honor of your poem. (Hope that's ok...)
