First Sight
M. F. B. Porter
We just met one night
pumpkins on the porch
lanterns
flickering
I wore a black satin dress,
you wore a funny tie
awkward
new
A movie played, colorful
candy in a bowl
tricks,
treats
Everyone disappeared
around us,
faded
out
They all just shuffled
into the background,
muted
noise
We only needed
each other;
enveloped
entwined
Months passed by but
we stayed the same
happy
true.
