A Date
a spurge, a spruce, a creamy spume
of Moscow mayday tree in bloom,
a crush, a diffidence innate
to youth, a long-awaited date,
a me, excited, nervous, pale,
a garden seat, a nightingale,
a slice of sun in strongest tea
of dusk, a braid, a trendy tee,
a checkered knee-length skirt, a you,
a sigh, another one, a few
looks at the wristwatch, an abyss
of desperation, a… a kiss.
