The Insouciant
By Jackie Aziz
Watch eye, shut eye, a cravat
with fatigues and you’re at ease
not camera shy.
And you spread, hold our gaze,
steal the show with rakish looks
tied to those four hearts
at home now multiplied
in the hearth of modern time.
And we know really
you were one of a kind.
So it’s easy to smooth creases
forgive foibles
and gobble those eyes.
I kissed you before you left,
it’s the thing I’m most proud of.
