I Never Arrive On Time When We Travel Together

Today was "Poetry in Your Pocket" Day, so, I wrote a poem for the pockets of some pretty people I know.

I Never Arrive On Time When We Travel Together

Yesterday when we were walking
you tilted your head
just so!
Squinting up
and to the left
to check the sky for time.

When that slant of afternoon
sun flashed down
your upturned cheek
the clock stopped.
