A Mirror for Two Voices

You're standing in the mirror

I’m watching you get dressed

Your voice is soft and certain

As you fumble with the buttons on your chest

And as the rain falls

What’s outside comes in

The space between us no longer dividing

Would I waste your time

If I gave you mine?

You're laying on the bed, eyes upon me

I can hear your voice through the mirror, speaking wordlessly

And as the record slows, silence surrounding

I can hear the room shift like a door in time opening

And I wonder to myself

What will come next?

Walking in evening streets

Thoughts thin like air

Stuck in this record of time

Like a conversation going nowhere
