the first time ever i saw your face

“I’ve tried to be cool about it.

I didn’t want to seem too anxious or thirsty about it.

But quiet as kept, I’ve been counting the hours and days

for that crystal moment

when I see you again.

dressed in white and fine finish

a long glimpse in my direction

as you stride across the manicured lawn

like you were walking onto a yacht.

with your own special place at the table

waiting

for you
