it is not in the tone of his biceps
nor in the definition of her legs
but in the tone of their voices
and the definition of chesed*
she keeps him honest
he lifts her self-esteem
she holds his attention
he’s the source of her gleam
he forgets all else
when she enters the room
among the weeds of her life
he is the bloom
they are each other’s treasure
by anyone’s measure
to one another they devote
themselves, to share the boat
*hebrew – חסד
