Face to face



I guess am a better man, than I used to be

I guess

faced with a choice of flight or fight

I chose neither

A posture of resolute

Upright stance…..

Face to face

 


Blood boiling. Teeth flashing

panting breath, anger rising

Yet,I remained

statuesque [maybe something ness would of carved]

laser intense

Defensively, arms raised, cocked

missiles aimed at each

country

slowly

receding, ebbing back from the

brink

face to face




faces flushed…..but not dripping red

balance restored…..now…maybe we can

eat in peace

A delicate balance of emotive expression... pulling (yourselves) together... and smoothing out those anger-lines. --Charlie

Goodness gracious! All this to get to Grace and then a wonderful meal. Posturing would mean seperdate meal times or different tables.
Love,

clever nod;
and yes, the face is so expressive. .. flashes of continental divides have brought stronger men [and countries] to their knees. .. but you bridge them well t.here.. ..

Sounds like a confrontation I had with my son when he was a teenage. He was just at that age of being slightly larger then I was and when I told him he wasn't leaving the house, he asked "how I was going to stop him" I stood with the bat in my hand by the door and he finally went to his room. He could have gone out the other door but he didn't. Sometimes the calm is what it takes. Lady J
