AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT

The amber, then the red light
Raised their invisible hands
Persuading me to stop, I did

Looking and searching on both sides
I stole a glance
Of that glorious face of hers
By instinct she turned and stole a glance
We exchanged some orphaned smiles
Just then the amber, then the green light
Impatience from behind noise build up

She turned right
I without choice turned left

Who owned that radiant face?
Where was she going from there?
I wonder!
I wonder….
