Under Glass

She can say so easily
Rat me out
Wait and see
What a verse of silent rhymes
We can see
Just can’t speak
I had already gone
She was on her way home
Never should have said
Take what I can get
Take a breath and keep it in
Close your eyes
Keep them still
Rainy day inside your sheets
Rat me out
Stay with me
I had already gone
She was on her home
Never should have said
Take what I can get
Strung across the space between
Strings of glass
Shuddering
Who are we imagining?
In our chests
Fluttering
I had already gone
She was no her way home
Never should have said
Take what I can get…
