AND THEN…..
by Cheryl Hazell

And then he kissed me.

All up and down.

Blue to brown stares, pale to dark, species to species.

And then we waited,

Hushed in a printed meadow of blues and purples

As a goal was scored beyond our breaths.

And then he whispered that it’s all the same,

That before he knew me, he’d already known the game.

And then a silent hand replaced

The veil encasing us in ambient space.
