Upon Receipt

His hands were large
And Strong
He saw what I did
I was afraid
I braced myself
Silence
He looked at me
With kindness
I stepped lightly
My stomach knotted
Anticipating
I waited
Wondered
What would he do?
'It's already been paid,'
He said.
'But what of the thing
That's been broken?'
I said.
I waited
Wondered
A day passed
A night
Morning came,
I held my breath.
And then,
He took me out
For breakfast.
And paid the bill.
