he’s on the phone
begging her to listen
I shouldn’t eavesdrop
My mind goes back to one dark night when I was in my teens, observing a young man having an earnest conversation with his significant other, wondering how the story would end.
in the twilight
Grandma folds her tired hands
one last time
paperback novel
once more he tells her
her relatives are strange
I have tasted
the medicine of regret
a unique love potion
frosty today
the lines between us
whited out
the newlyweds’ first meal
chicken tenders
and tater tots
My response to the Ragtag daily prompt: TENDER
newlyweds wander
on the beach at low tide
send them gentle waves
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
two lovers stroll by
their shadows on the path
inseparable
she tastes in her tears
the brine of the sea
swallowing her dreams
When I cried alone
in the darkness of my night
You called my name
