Poetry, The Key in the Door and other poems

Discovery

We came upon them in the potting shed

among the rakes and hoes and flower pots;

he with his glasses askew on his forehead,

she with her tidy blouse undone,

pink chest heaving, face flushed.

So engrossed were they in their embrace

that they didn’t see our small faces

breathing astonishment on the window pane.
