Faucets





Two faucets:
The sturdy frost free
Sashays its lever
Functional and small
Its icy stream
Requires no priming and
Accommodates no receptacle;

Beside a weathered chimney
Long and graceful as a crane
In still water  
A smooth palm-fitting handle
Sings a cast iron aria
That rising from baritone to alto
Announces the coming;

Each reminds me of you.
