A Poem by Me

Circumstance

He stands at the top of the stairs
Beckoned by her call to do this one thing
He does
He wants and she says oh, no
See it's not the right time or the right place and
It's me, honey
Don't worry all's well don't look too closely
To know that
It's more than time and location
The truth hurts
The veil covering her face is thin
She sees clearly while
It shelters her from harm
She's invisible and free
But alone

By me
