I was just about to wake up, not quite
There you were, intently reading a book
I saw only your neck, your ear and your nose
Your big black eyes, your cheeks,
Your shoulders, and…
And then my heart grew heavy

Though becoming soft at your sight,
Nevertheless strike through me
Why won't you talk to me…?
We exchanged resumes once
Me being myself, you confident
What is this now that I keep running into…?
A cloud of unknowing between us
A graceless ignoring by one of us
