(Inspired by Nancy Alexander)

Cool surfaces

Glazed skin

Hooded eyes

Tentative Touch

*

Words flow slowly

Like ancient melting ice

Fingers hesitate in mid-air

Then politely intertwine

*

A door is opened

A chair is offered

Her eyes glance upward

Self-conscious small smiles

*

Old customs/New Lady

Perhaps my gesture offends

Maybe two lives lived

In very different planes

*

Will two uncertain genders crash

Into fierce porcelain politics?

Victorian courtesies de-railed by

Internet concepts of Femininity?

*

Late in life flirtatious

Breaths held in suspense

Too late to learn new ways?

Then…oh, gosh!…she squeezed my hand

You big hearted flirt you! I hope this lady knows you’re sharing your intimate thoughts with us…..(wink). Nice to have these feelings- both the uncertainty and the heart throbbing once again, huh?
Be good and stay well!
