Palm-locked
Our hands vaulted bollards as we walked.
Mutual silences grew slowly,
Like ink
blots
soaking
Into foolscap.

First contact
Palm-locked
Our hands vaulted bollards as we walked.
Mutual silences grew slowly,
Like ink
blots
soaking
Into foolscap.
Two divorcees meet
Just for a brief minute
Isaac Newton bent his Law for us.
Scars fresh
We neither stood on solid ground
But held each other up in spite of it.
Mutual emotional bootstrapping held us fast.
I kept the embrace too long
Wanting to believe in magic
One more time.
