Romance

Romance

cardboard castles

and stuffed dragons

distressed maidens

and distant knights

the drawbridge up

the drawbridge down

the torches lit

the feast abounds

her hand in his

they dance

without a hint

of longing

chivalrous and demure

a gloved hand

a terse nod

years go by

they dance again

ungloved

without a breath

between them

TL
