by pure chance
i saw a girl that i hadn’t glimpsed in six months
conversations strewn across facebook lent itself to the occasion to meet face to face
so outside station stairs
i,
waited
she,
blushed
i rushed
into quick embrace
hands left unsure of the right place,
fearful of acts considered brazen
i,
waited
outside the station
stares illuminating every muscle twitch
eyes
slip
we smile, kiss
walk cautious tour of the streets of saint denis
the 93
my home, i announced
somewhat proudly
she coyly smiled
and we strolled into a bar
where
i,
waited
hands touch, leffe cups
door held open
eyes wide shut
we smile, kiss
caution lost in strong winds
hand in hand as my heart races
cherry blossoms in dark places
