Dresses and suits divided

By an invisible wall

Shielding them

From the uncertainty

One moves and then another

Closer together than ever before

A sweat drenched palm closed

Tightly into a trembling hand

Stumbling feet too high

Off the ground sidestepping

The clumsy loafers

Leaving behind discolored toes

Passion demanding attention

Chapped lips now glazed with strawberry ice

Faded music and muffled voices

We are the only two in the room.
