k.m. ( another tale of awkward starts)

there was nothing
holding me back
unless you count fear
no muscled goon with his meat-hook across my lips
no force field to penetrate
no ivied sky-scraping wall to climb
no raging river to ford
yet my tongue seemed sluggish
so I nodded
when she asked are you going down the hill
to hear the Mighty Senators band ?
playing in the dell in the park below us
one month later i wrote her a song
the title was her name
holding me back
unless you count fear
no muscled goon with his meat-hook across my lips
no force field to penetrate
no ivied sky-scraping wall to climb
no raging river to ford
yet my tongue seemed sluggish
so I nodded
when she asked are you going down the hill
to hear the Mighty Senators band ?
playing in the dell in the park below us
