THE MOON HIDES HER FACE
He...he's
wondering IF
he's coming on
too strong?
&...stops!
She's wondering IF
to kiss him now
would be so very very
wrong?
&...doesn't!
He's wondeingr IF
he should
...go easy?
She's wondering IF
he thinks she's too easy?
& both awkwardly
st?op!
And so
nothing happens.
"Good...night!" she stumbles
over the syllables.
"Good...good night!"
he echoes.
Once inside she
cries behind her bright red front door.
"****!" he curses himself ". . .& ****!"
Kicks an empty
crushed Coca Cola can.
The moon hides her face.

They actually ended up being married now for 40 years so I guess they got it right in the end. They are a lovely devoted couple who when they met were painfully shy of each other although madly in love. They both thought that the other didn't like them because they baulked at a chaste goodnight kiss. They met again by accident 6 months later never forgetting how they had felt and the missed opportunity. They fell about laughing telling me the story of how they "almost didn't get together." They were very glad they did. And so was I.
