Astonished

Astonished
in his arms
all night
lingering
taping a matchstick in the diary
floating high
above
trouble trouble trouble
dripping down
oblivious
holding hands
and waiting
for the phone
for the bus
encircled
and belonging
longing
at a bus stop
at a party
at home
eating ice cream and jelly
held firm
held fast
first love
