It’s morning, I see
eyes, make up,
and a shadow
whispering,
shaking bells
of disbelief
Breaking dreams,
I hesitate because
I do not
want to
give it up
But the longer
I wait I know
there will not
be a reason
Tell me something
I don’t know, what
keeps us together
breaking the seal
before our passing
The words that we
keep between us
gouging walls
that squeeze us…
please take my hand
around the corner
once more.
In the cold night air
beneath tall buildings
casting long shadows
we stop to look at one
another’s breath and stare.
