She saw him standing there
on the edge of the circle
from just far enough
that he didn’t see her
His back was turned
but she knew it well
After all this time
She paused for just a moment
breathe in
get her strength
straighten up her shoulders
shake her head
clear the air
before she turned around
and walked the other way
So that he wouldn’t be
in an awkward position
tough situation
caught between
a rock and a hard place
one or another
He turned aaround
just in the nick of time
to see her walking out
her back was turned
but he knew it well
After all this time
He paused for just a moment
trying to decide
if he should catch her
or stay away
from awkward positions
tough situations
rock and a hard place
one or another
