“Gotta move”
Splash of cologne
Slamming door
Diminutive lights
Village green
Meeting beckoned
But what
Was to be seen
From darkness into light
With a step
Ashen sidewalk turned beige
Purple-blue grass dissolved to
green
Prominent Confederate
remembrances
Defiant stand
Stone veteran of a lost cause
Watched and bled anew
As his rural sentry was overrun
By the urbanization
unstoppable
Ancient facades
Of feed and general stores
Filled with the seamless meld
Of bars press into Ice Cream
parlors
Yet the stone soldier stood
Defiant
Regardless
Continued walk
Light to darkness
Like an grey artery
Off an travelled street
A rudimentary bank clock
Continued shouting time
To a mute and slumbering world
8:55
Initial steps
Vision adjusted
Darkness into light
Heart rapid
Shadow faces
None recognized
All it took was a forward press
Half-light to half-light
Towards the side
Figure sat
Face hidden
Apprehensive Approach
Name nuance
A turn
Twist of flowing hair
Hidden eyes
Seduced
With merely a glance
Placid blue
Belied a tempest beneath
Revealed by a welcoming
Mischievous smile
From darkness into light
