Just One Look

November 19, 2023

She wasn’t a beauty

though pretty enough

Her gait charismatic

with looks to rebuff

He wanted to stop her

he waited and watched

For light in the tunnel

one chance not to botch

At last she took notice

his heart beating fast

Their eyes locked together

a fleeting repast

Time was suspended

new love in the air

As she boarded her plane

—leaving only a stare

(The New Room: November, 2023)
