i was told you
were my friend
you said
and we stood backwards to the sky
who told you said i
and you pointed at my eye
pointing out wit glee, it’s a mirror
okay, i said
we travelled starscapes
dreamscapes and escapes
i was told you
were my friend
you said
loving every minute
like fury or beauty
we told each other
how much we loved
meanwhile we resented when others
called for it from above
or something like that
we look for it
in the wrong places
you said
and of course
i knew what you were talking about
and of course
i was looking at you
or for you
so and now then.
what is it like to be one
you asked
maybe juliet knows
i said
or any of those fictions
from those plays and romance shows
the stars lay facedown to us
and you didn’t say much then
maybe i will kiss you now
and i didn’t say much then
not much to say anyway
