Fire Drill
Her mouth moves hesitantly
anxiously trying
to conceal what she can
His mouth moves quickly
excitedly trying
to open up and
make her feel comfortable
The space between them
feels intimate
even with so many
people around
They laugh as
she inches closer to him
accidentally brushing hands
but not wanting
to pull back
She twirls her hair
and him
around her finger
as she talks about her past
She doesn't feel
at home with him
she feels better,
she feels safe
