Samuel Hess Poet Free verse

A Moment of Closure

A hug they call it, a sweet embrace,
               I see naught much more than casual waste.
Hear this: When two wrap arms those two touch hearts. Loves 
Warmth is shared! A tethered hearth! Droves 
Of waterfall on rock below, loaded 
Avalanches of melting snow!
And yet more: a tickled itch, a rope wrapped gift…

I loath and pray those numb hearts feel, 
Further that they know to sift 
As though what they’ve shared is as real as real. 

I would begrudge for what I’ve seen, 
but they don’t know what they’re holding 
Is worth much more than just a hug.
