Random Reunion

the first onrush of delight swept them away
for a while into the open sea of fond memories
and vague, tender feelings;

then it gradually slackened into an uneasiness
that descended into a quiet embarrassment,
something mutually unsettling;

feelings about half-remembered guarded secrets 
of a long-forgotten time that bubble up close 
to the surface of here, of now.
