PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You avert your gaze

In the afternoon

Folding up your noon chaise

Sun faded stripes

Red and white

Pin it to your side

Waiting for your ride

Then I arrive

Too late we'd caught eyes

I have the kids

Flex our civil ties

Feel the anger rise

Your lemonade spills

You hury to the approaching car

I make the mistake of apologizing

You turn

Your gaze burns

I hate it
