12 seconds that changed the world
her eyes like almonds
or brown diamonds
don't mean to stare
but there's a click
a palpable catch
of two gazes like jigsaw tiles
and music around
it's like a river or current
with four open channels
her hair moves so slow
it feels like the 50's
then her eyes
those cinnamon heavens
slide past
and i feel like someone.
