mirrored shades

her eyes haven't yet
looked into mine in
a realm outside that
one that exists
when my eyes are
closed and yet i can
see them now - un-
known & now
know this;
it looks thin,
it tastes sour,
it lasts for only
a season or two.

\"now you,
now you,\"
she said
excitedly
in a dream
not remembered
but instead re-
imagined in
the sky that
is the inside
of my eye-
brow. i come
down now, as
they say, to
steal a line
or two, a
mood or
two much
like they
take from us.

small bow.
