The Escalator

escalator, Mahendra Gonsalkorale

I was half dreaming

Standing still but moving

I was going down

Others by my side coming up

Many stood still

Others pushing past me

In a hurry

Where were their thoughts

Mine was in a haze

Seeing but not observing

Then I saw her

In the distance looking up

In the distance coming up slowly

A figure in a million

Head tossed back carelessly

A sensuous but sad face

She is now almost at my level

Will she recognise me

My throat went dry

My heart was beating fast

She looked at me and caught my eye

Just a faint smile, a twitch

I looked back as she went up

She was looking at me

A smile crossed her face

I went limp and flushed

Nearly fell off as I reached the end

She remembered me!

She remembered me!
