I found us. Well a version of us,
In all the obvious way. Their skin, however separately hued, mocked us. 
And still, I left them unimpeached, 
unburdened by my anointing stare. 

I did stare at us—- them! I lingered. 
I saw them, perhaps more worthy 
of the legacy of Loving?
Again, it was only a breath 
longer than polite. 

I left softer this time, in a blink. 
As my Heart broke quieter this time.
You would have found it sweet,
A charmed gaze, with a flutter of atonement.
