Blind Date

Blind Date

Freshly shaven, wrinkle free he is ready
He has packed her favorites
All that is needed for the perfect
impromptu meal complete and ready to go

Will she be there on time?
Will she recognize me in this stupid suit?
The shoes new and tight on his feet

He arrives and she is waiting for him already
Patient while he sets out the cloth
and foods for her delight
Then he kneels and lays aside the cane
Feeling the headstone and tracing the letters
as if he can still touch her by touching her name
that is written on the headstone
