Carry
I carry my lunch pail
         swing the clasp box in tow, know
I carry you where I go

My coffee warm as your heart
         vigor consumed on dirt
at noon. Coming home soon.

The clock crows in my heart.

I’m coming home to you
         see cornbread consumed
on checkered cloth — stirring
our hearts with spoons.

We canoodle in the aroma
         of a plank-board room —
love hovers over our air.

The clock sings soon, too.

Last cup of strong Joe before
         rocks crushed and carried
to quarry to collect carats
for a ring banded so smooth.

I carry my box home fast,
         lighter, longing your heart
next to my heart — a soul of two.

Up the cool porch I bound.

Outstretched, I’m received
         above a firm clasp.
I really carry you now. Soft
in the parlor caress a prize.

From my box a box I carried
just for you, until this June.
         I crush rocks hard for you.
         Cradle a soft heart so tender.

Sampling some alliteration, also assonance with some consonance not so cautiously but casually.
