At 12:02 (he was two minutes late)
Came a tap at the window.
She smoothed down her dress and
Fixed her hair ribbon (she liked how it matched her eyes)
Before she climbed into the heat of the summer night.
The sound of a motor disappeared into the air.

In the morning her mother spied a
Hair ribbon lying in the street.
(Funny how perfectly
It matched her daughter's eyes…)
