Alone

One way in.

Heart racing,

Fear paced.

Slam the door of my red cage shut.

Engine silenced.

Turn my back on the mechanics of my world,

Face front and breathe.

In,

Out.

Stunned by the intensity of alone.

Man is here.

I see his home.

I see his filth.

I see the marks he leaves behind.

I don't see him.

Alone.

Breathe.

One way out.

Double Vision

I suddenly saw him.
His fine angular profile,
Blonde hair just catching the light,
Framed in the doorway.

My breath held, life stopped,
There was only him.

He turned,
Looked.
Breathe out...
Past me.

Confusion.
Good yes, 
No, bad.

He turned again.
He must see me,
This time.
Heads shake in unison,
We are one.

He stares ahead.
I stare, drink of him.
I want to touch,
Him.
To say...

I watch that familiar lollop.
Hands in pockets
Shoulders slumped,
Mirroring the archway.
I used to know all his thoughts.

I laugh.
I do now, this moment.

He turns.
OK, I motion,
Thumbs up, twirl hand.

He turns back
A shrug, a shaking head,
An eye roll,
Probably.

Click,
Done.
I smile.
I think...

I love you.

Time

Reading

Unnoticed

The world turned.

My hand,

Once young and wrinkle free

Held his tiny fist

Tight and secure within my own.

Life happened.

Wrinkled now

My fist contained within his

Secure,

And loved.

Both.
