An Interlude At Check-In
Snailing through the luggage line
meandering my mind
scanning assorted airport folk
entranced when I spy
this guy with a gal at his side
both stunning
and so in love
My stare intensifies
as strange rekindling scorches my blood
zooming in on the young man's countenance
the likeness of which
is that of a man who haunts my dreams -
a towering Adonis with dark eyes
whose gaze holds mine
tenderly
I refocus -
on the beautiful young object
of his admiration
(a surge of sadness now -
melancholy sweeping me)
They're inseparable; complete.
I push-kick my suitcase
and resume trailing my feet.
