Hankerings
By Roberta Mendel
A soft touch,
A brush of talc,
A fleeting kiss, caress.
That's enough for now.
Mama's arms
And Daddy's time,
Security -- and toys.
That's enough for now.
Some friends,
A pet, a book,
And time to dream.
That's enough for now.
A private place,
A special someone,
The latest novelty.
That's enough for now.
A marriage, baby,
House,
And things.
That's all for now.
The topmost post,
Le dernier cri,
A place in High Society.
That's all for now.
A trip at sea,
Solitude,
And serenity.
That's enough for now.
Quiet,
Endearment,
And breath.
That's enough
for now.
