An agitation of heels:
She steps from the pool
Of the streetlight
To the black.
Glancing behind,
She does not see
He has quickened his pace.
__________________
Child-small she seems to him,
Despite her elegance.
She steps out
From the safety
To the darkness.
He glimpses her fear
And quickens his pace.
__________________
They converge
The black-clad lady
And the man.
From streetlight
To moonlight
Her face beckons
He quickens his pace.
