My El (For Elnathan) Poem by Debbie Edwards

You walked In late to play

White shirt, dark suit.
My heart quickened
We read and swapped, flowing, stilted
He called I left
You took my seat
‘Sorry’! ‘its ok, no worries’!
We sat opposite to see
cheating the same, playing the game
You stood and read
I watched, looked, saw, liked
Bore the thought to connect
To you, to yours
PIN, email, Facebook
We began our dance
Fish, laughter, Movies, laughter, Poetry laughter
liked muchly, plenty
She hurt, He wrote, She cried, He wrote, We told
I held, you cried
You told, I wept
We loved, muchly, plenty

We play.
