Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #515
That's How You Know by Belinda Roddie "That's how you know that she's the one for you," my father told me over mugs of beer and lukewarm pizza. Quite out of the blue, he had informed me he observed my queer relationship and knew my partner was head over heels for me. He then proclaimed it was because of how she smiled, because of how she laughed, because her gaze was aimed at me ev'ry time I entered a room and ev'ry time I exited. I grinned and shook my head - sure, we could all presume how she felt about me from expressions, but it was only surface level. She had words, and touch, and warmth, and reverie.
