refractions

These two were truly innocents—

She liked a game called House.

He loved to roam the open fields.

She had blue eyes, a complexion as pure as air

And hair that was a pretty cornsilk yellow.

His sandy, unkempt hair blended

With freckled arms and face and hazel eyes.

They gravitated toward each other

As trees reach out to the sun.

Holding hands, they romped across the fields,

Sometimes skipping as if in a game.

One time she impulsively kissed him.

So startled was he that he pulled away

Reminded of that aunt who always kissed

With warm wet kisses.

Yet, this one kiss was so different.

He leaned across towards her and quickly

Pecked her with the lightest of kisses.

Abashed, he hugged himself.

But she just laid her blond head on him

And quietly said, “I love you, Joe.”
