around the corner

on that ordinary day
he turned the corner-the one
we've all become familiar with

natural was the setting
comfortable were the people

but when he turned that corner-
everything seemed different

moods changed-
maybe not his or yours
but mine did- almost
with out recognition-
it moved from intimate to insecure

in that space
i stumbled upon feelings i
was otherwise suppressing

around that corner
he came- new and more human
than i could have ever anticipated
