He Asked Her On a Date

He asked her on a date

Even the question
Came out foreign
A phrase he rarely spoke

Like a wonderful exotic
Magical expedition
Had been proposed

She had not gone out
In years
Before children had slept in her bed

More surprised that
He wanted to be seen in
Public with
Her again

Than that she saw
This small moment
To say yes
Greet her like a horizon
At the end of a long
Tunnel

Glances echoed off their
Faces
Hands and thumbs played
Lap games
Eager not to disappoint the other

The next morning
After some weak
Peppermint tea
She thinks she’s finally
Ready to
Say
yes
