caught,
eyes dragging, slowly
against the tug of another curious gaze
hanging on until the very corners –
where it’s almost painful to strain so hard –
hoping to feel that small stabbing,
in the chest,
of shared experience
– Humanity, that is;
until the tension breaks
and the emptiness in the unseen space between:
cold and unknown again.
