walking besides you listening
to your silent footsteps
stealthily grinding on pavement tiles
mine echoing within me
I knew at every footstep
these few seconds that we had picked up
from the threshold of our racing hours
harnessing them to our unison
molten in fleeting time, slipping rapidly…
the street stopped at the bend
so did you
I ordered my feet to stop making noise
they listened, we did too
we spoke, we talked, eyes shone, lips wavered
that dent on your forehead began to beat against my breast
you turned right, I turned backwards
footsteps.. footsteps.. footsteps..
