Musing
By Stranger
Watching you
through a pane of glass
A 1000 miles within it,
a 1000 miles between us
Your beauty digs a stiletto heel
down into my tongue
until I am unable to whisper
or scream
I write your name upon my palm,
and with outstretched fingers
press it against
the wall of distance between us
You reach your arm out towards mine,
as if gazing into a mirror
We stare at each other
becoming frozen images
Photographs
hanging side by side in a gallery
Passersby
pondering the mystery in our eyes
“I think these two
represent what might have been.”
“No, see the names on their hands?
They are two halves of a whole.”
