You and I
You and i,
caged in our separate lives. Eyes meet
across the street. Strangers to each other.
Mirrors reflecting these words. Yours and mine.
Can you hear them?
Swirling currents flowing past each other.
The thunder of the water splashing
on the rocks down below, drowning out
all sound. And the songs You sing to me,
and I to you, sink into the shadows
until nothing is left.
But down in the hollows, a hydra grows
on our sorrows, feeding off these pipe dreams
between Us.
