reset; clouds roll into the valley,
green hills veiled by their rain,
hand presses through earth 
into fog

reset; fingertips grip boulder cracks,
brow-sweat swiped by thumb-base crease,
chest wet, pearlless and
clutched in awe

reset; cold glasses drip in the heat,
fast sidewalks calmed by savor,
slow sips and nibbles
nourishing

reset; long embraces stretch for days,
worn hearts warmed by reunion,
bright eyes shine from candor
and relief

love notes
a ritual to start the work week
