That Smile

dfharding

Introspective journey.

Striving to stay awake.

Drab, dank day of giving,

With supermarket break.

 

Coke and Sandwich purchase,

Young lady loading car.

I stand, controlled and waiting,

Bag and baggage bar.

 

Turning from her labour,

She finds me waiting there.

Silently she thanks me;

Smiles, through tangled hair.

 

Platonic, sensual contact.

A meeting in the rain,

Rekindled choked back memories

Of life’s potential gain.
