Fulcrum

by Mad Hatter - Capricorn


There you stood
On the corner, in full view, 
Just tall enough, perfectly balanced 
on great legs, the fading sunlight 
Shaping a crimson halo 
around your golden hair.

You turned and glanced my way.
In that instant, I wanted to ask
Why you were there,
Who you were waiting for,
If you believed in love
At first sight (or at all)
Or blind luck, or fate,
Or seizing the moment.

I didn’t.
I waited for a car to pass,
Then crossed the street
And didn’t look back.
