I wonder what his thoughts were
when he made the decision to look back to check
was it out of concern
or curiousity?
Was it an unconscious look?
Or simply a moment to defy Hades?
I want to know what the music sounded like
Was it light
Or heavy
Purple or crimson or a periwinkle blue?
Did she wail or make no noise?
Did you?
Did you reach out to touch her
Or needed to see what the texture of her fingertips were connected to?
Or did she, lovely Orpheus, call out to you?
I wonder whether she wanted to leave the dark
