Break

The window is dark silouhettes slighlty leaning to the side The window is dark squinting and leaning toward the pane Is anyone there Just a few feet apart Behind this transparent divide Is there a face A heart Beat Or just glass Reflecting back How going forward Is walking away Can the relflection act out a story in the scenery of this changing climate this density drowning in color fading to black It's just glass Break In case of emergency Break This urgency Silenced in the shadow of the silhouette left to ponder peering right in and back out at each empty space left that no one dares to enter for fear of breaking the glass
