Confrontation

a gulp of breath
a glance at the ground
a shuffle of feet
you make the first sound

a reach for my necklace
a waiver of voice
a clench of the fist
you made the choice

a turn of the face
a sigh of stress
a shutting of eyes
this is a mess


a stillness, suspension
a sign of regret
a close-hearted hug
what a good thing we met
