Little Mona Lisa Smiles (for Ruthie)

We were always together
as much as weather

was
weather.

'Like two peas
in a pod...by God! '

as the man said
when he saw us

& laughed
his head off.

We only smiled
with little Mona Lisa smiles

seeing no one
but each other

holding hands
& jumping through

a rain washed
hopscotch

our breaths
mingling in the frosty air

the words
I LOVE YOU

held there
for ever for all

to see
our first big love

& neither of us
not yet
