Prom

I watch whirling shadows, as lovers are hugging. Disco lights tug at my heart like a small child. The low punchbowl is both shallow and deep. My fixation becomes both shallow and deep, gazing upon alluring couples hugging. I was always alone, even as a child. Oh, the shadowed daydreams of a child.... A prince would kiss my hand; our love would be deep. In royal attire, we'd be twirling and hugging. Hugging the wall, like a child in the deep pool, I rise up. 11-5-2023
