A passing thought was written in strawberry jelly on my fridge and in my heart

Loops and whorls
Unique traces
Left behind
On smooth surfaces
By those who touch them!

Are such prints
Left behind
Deep inside
When we touch
Someone’s heart?

Do they
Slowly surface
Bubble like
Years after touching
Someone's mind?

Years ago I
Left behind
Different prints
On all that
I touched!

Now I am
Very careful
Because
I know I am
Responsible.

After decades, my prints
Are deeply etched
Into the shiny finish
Of all that
I touched!
