The Approach

You don’t kick a man
He says
As she pulls back
Her leg back
Into stride
She hears,
turns smiles
What?
You don’t kick a man on the floor
She looks floorward, mumbles
Sucking in words Stumbling out
…You get down there with him.
Thoughts with Horns & Halos
Level, wrestle to bring meaning a crown.
Horns break stride for a pause;
Halos keep her walking.
