A Force of Nature: Office Crush

A Force of Nature: Office Crush

Sidelong glances,

Surreptitious looks,

Shy Good morning-s

Thank you-s and Excuse me-s. 

My favourite is the ungrudging view of

The landscape that spans the back of your

Neck , across your shoulders, back, and down

To the base of your spine;

Especially so when you raise

Your arms to stretch and

The earth beneath my feet shifts,

Strains, and flows in time with the planes

And valleys of your body.

I hope you’ll never notice me;

But when will you ever notice me

Planning my next move to elicit the thunder of

Your laughter, the lightning of your smile?

You are a force of nature as you

Pass by me at my desk,

Uncaring as any storm passing through.
